20-Port, Panel Sector Antenna ( 698 - 2690 MHz )

20‑Port Panel Sector Antenna (698–2690 MHz)

Overview

• Frequency range: 698–2690 MHz — covers LTE bands, 3G, and legacy cellular allocations; suitable for multi‑operator macro sites and shared infrastructure.

• Ports: 20 ports enabling multi‑input multi‑output (MIMO), diversity, and carrier aggregation across multiple bands.

• Form factor: Slim, sector panel designed for rooftop, tower, and wall‑mount installations with low visual profile and robust environmental protection.

Key Features :

• Wideband performance: Single‑antenna solution across 698–2690 MHz reduces the need for multiple discrete antennas and simplifies inventory and site integration.

• Multi‑port architecture: 20 individually terminated ports support simultaneous multi‑sector configurations, multi‑operator deployments, or high‑order MIMO (e.g., 8x8 and beyond depending on configuration) and multiple carriers.

• Optimized radiation patterns: Sectorized azimuth beamwidth (typically 65°–90° configurable per model) with controlled elevation tilt for efficient cell coverage and reduced inter‑cell interference.

• Low VSWR and high port isolation: Ensures efficient power transfer, minimizes mutual coupling between ports, and preserves MIMO channel capacity.

• High gain across bands: Carefully tuned element arrays deliver consistent gain to maximize link budget for both uplink and downlink.

• Robust construction: IP65/IP67 environmental rating, corrosion‑resistant radome and mounting hardware for long service life in harsh outdoor conditions.

• Lightning and surge protection: Integrated or easy‑to‑fit surge protection options to protect RF chains and meet telco site safety requirements.

• Easy installation and alignment: Lightweight design, universal mounting bracket with azimuth/elevation adjustment, and clearly labeled feeders for fast site commissioning.

• Weathering and UV resistance: Materials and finishes formulated for extended exposure to sun, salt spray, and temperature cycling.

Applications :

• Cellular macro sites for LTE and refarmed spectrum deployments

• Multi‑operator and neutral host systems where multiple feed ports serve different carriers

• High‑capacity urban sectors requiring advanced MIMO and carrier aggregation

• DAS and small cell siting augmentation where wideband coverage from a single panel reduces clutter

Benefits :

• Simplifies site hardware by consolidating broad frequency coverage into a single antenna

• Reduces tower loading and visual impact compared with multiple discrete antennas

• Enables flexible split of carriers/ports between operators without additional panels

• Improves spectral efficiency through high isolation and optimized MIMO performance

• Lowers OPEX through fewer parts, streamlined installs, and reduced maintenance

Ordering Options and Customization :

• Port mapping: Custom assignment of ports to specific subbands or operators

• Connector type and orientation: Select N‑female, 4.3‑10, or integrated jumpers

• Azimuth beamwidth: 65° or 90° variants

• Mechanical finish: Standard or enhanced corrosion protection for coastal sites

• Integrated surge protection or external SPD compatibility

• Mounting kit: Tower, wall, or pole options with tilt and alignment accessories

Compliance and Testing :

• Factory‑measured radiation patterns and return loss across full band

• Environmental testing to ETSI/ITU telecom standards for wind, salt spray, and thermal cycling

• Electrical safety and lightning protection standards (per customer region)

Installation Notes :

• Ensure clear line of sight for sector coverage; follow recommended mounting heights and downtilt for your site plan.

• Use recommended low‑loss feeders and torque connectors per manufacturer specs to maintain VSWR performance
