1 Introduction
1.1 Portfolio Overview
The microwave antenna portfolio range from 0.2 m to 0.9 m and from 4 GHz to 80 GHz.
The antennas are used for both short haul (SH) and long haul (LH) systems:
Please see section 2 for a complete list of all different antennas available for the different systems.
1.2 Polarization
Single polarized antennas radiate in one polarization, vertical or horizontal polarization. The
polarization is adjustable and is set at site during the installation.
Dual polarized antennas radiate in two polarizations simultaneously, vertical and horizontal
polarization. The antenna has two ports, one for each polarization.
1.3 Performance
R ADIATION P ATTERN E NVELOPE (RPE)
High performance antenna’s RPE fulfills ETSI class 3, with only a few exceptions fulfilling class 2.
The antenna is normally (but not always) shielded and has got an integrated radome. The radome
protects the antenna from its physical environment (rain, snow, dirt, wind etc). High performance
antennas are used in networks with a high or a very high interference potential.
Please see section 3.9.1 for a detailed list of each antenna’s RPE class.

R ETURN L OSS
The system requirement on antenna return loss is: Short haul 6-80 GHz 14 dB Long haul 4-8 GHz 18
dB Long haul 11-13 GHz 14 dB
1.4 Integration
The integrated antennas are installed with the radio unit (RAU2, PT 2010 or PT 6010) without using
any flexible waveguides, i.e. the radio is fitted directly to the rear of the antenna. The radio unit
can easily be dismounted without affecting the antenna alignment.
All antennas (including the integrated antennas), except 42-80 GHz, can be installed separately
from the radio unit using a flexible and/or ellipticalwaveguide. The antennas are equipped with a
standardised waveguide interface (see section 4.3.2). The 2.4-3.7 m antennas are always installed
separately from the radio unit.

G ENERAL
The radiation pattern envelopes (RPEs) are typical and should be used for network planning.
Guaranteed RPEs will not have any peaks exceeding the typical RPEs by more than 3 dB. In all cases
peaks will not exceed the international standards listed in section 3.9.
Since the RPE is an envelope covering the full frequency band the probability is high that the side
lobe level at a specific frequency and a specific angle is lower (or even much lower) than the
specified RPE.
RPEs are presented in relative values (dB). Absolute RPEs (dBi) can be generated from the relative
RPEs by adding the mid-band gain of the respective antenna.

Co-polar, vertical polarization V/H Cross-polar, vertical polarization
