Product Introduction - Asymmetrical Horn TwistPort™ Antennas
Channel: RF elements s.r.o.
Date: 23/01/2020

Here we introduce award winning Asymmetrical Horn Antenna sectors with TwistPort™, a near-zero loss quick locking waveguide connector. RF elements antennas solve the no. 1 problem of wireless networks - RF interference, through zero side lobes radiation pattern and superb frequency stability of their parameters.

The three premium antennas are designed for the 5GHz unlicensed band, with main parameters:
- Gains: 16, 17, and 20.5 dBi 
- Frequency range: 5.18 - 6 GHz. 
- Beam efficiency: 95 %, 90 %, and 95 %
- Azimuth beam width @-6 dB: 20°, 30°, 60°, 90°
- Radio interface: TwistPort, circular waveguide connector
- Mounting: massive UBR bracket

The radiation pattern of these antennas is asymmetrical - wide in the azimuth and narrow in the elevation plane. The Asymmetrical horns combine best of both worlds - the wide radiation pattern of traditional patch array antennas and the noise rejecting capability of horns.

Thanks to the zero side lobes radiation pattern, the Asymmetrical horn (AH) sectors do not transmit or receive surrounding RF noise. The noise floor the radio is working with is therefore very low, resulting into high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). High SNR means you can leverage high MCS rates meaning maximizing the throughput on the wireless link. 

High gain and wide coverage of the AH sectors favors them for rural to suburban areas with lower customer density. The 30° AH has a BeamSwitch feature - swapping the position of the handle and the bracket, you rotate the antenna radiation pattern resulting into 20° beamwidth in azimuth and 30° in elevation. This practically makes the AH2030-TP two antennas in one - when you need to narrow down the coverage area from 30 to 20 degrees in high customer density areas.

Due to the narrower radiation pattern in the elevation plane, the Asymmetrical horns are suitable for flat to mildly hilly landscapes, though they still do much better job at covering the null zone that is typically an issue with traditional patch array sectors. More over, the down tilt the AHs let you use give you even more freedom to optimize the coverage provided.

Frequency stability of the parameters of AHs is impeccable - throughout the whole useful spectrum the maximum gain is completely flat providing reliable performance regardless which channel you use. The averaged Beam Efficiency (BE - https://youtu.be/U8x71RgK-_I ) of AHs is 95 %, 90 %, and 95 % indicating extreme stability and reliability of provided coverage.

AHs are a part of a complete antenna toolset for optimal network coverage with a wide range of antenna gains and beam widths, heck the toolset here: https://rfelements.com/products

AHs enable unlimited scalability based on the fact that the neighboring sectors do not interact with each other letting network operators deploy as many sectors as needed opposed to situation with traditional sector antennas that produce plenty of RF noise that progressively degrades wireless link performance. Now you can deploy as many sectors as needed, instead of settle for what the noise allows you!
