PIM-RATED ANTENNAS COL Series VHF and UHF Meander Collinear The Meander Collinear Antennas, available in both the VHF, UHF and 700/800 MHz bands, have been specifically designed for applications requiring high performance, wide bandwidth and exceptional PIM specifications. The patented Meander Collinear element design allows multiple half-wave elements to be stacked without the variations in cable lengths and mechanical joints which have typified the construction techniques in high gain collinear antennas. With each dipole element being printed on a single sided PCB the susceptibility to passive intermodulation is practically eliminated. Placing the elements on a PCB controls PIM and removes manufacturing variations so that each and every antenna will provide the same pattern, tilt and VSWR characteristics over its operating bandwidth, resulting in a cost effective reliable, high performance, low PIM antenna. The radome and mounting tube support this line of antenna in a truly rugged package with internal DC grounding for lightning protection and reduction of precipitation noise. Everything about these Meander Collinear Antennas reflects the new demand for unquestioned consistent performance electrically and physically in the most demanding public safety and industrial applications. BA Series VHF and UHF Omnidirectional Dipole Arrays These high performance VHF & UHF dipole arrays are ideal for highly populated radio sites requiring long haul omnidirectional coverage. They operate over entire bands and offer gain of 3, 6 or 9dBd (depending on model), exhibiting a VSWR of <1.5:1 across the band. The arrays utilize an internal phasing harness in PTFE based double-shielded coaxial cable with polyethylene jacket to aid waterproofing and resist scratch or puncture damage. The use of a unique phasing arrangement provides extensive side lobe suppression and null fill characteristics. VHF arrays will accept an input power level of 750 watts, making them ideal for high power multiple transmitter applications; UHF arrays will accept an input power level of 500 watts continuous. The BA160 series is available with an optional 3 downtilt, to further enhance close-in coverage characteristics. All welded alodined aluminum construction and new fabrication techniques in both the harness and dipole sections have proven to minimize intermodulation and noise generated within the antennas. The entire array rests at ground potential and offers the ultimate in lightning resistant antennas. OA Series VHF and UHF Offset Dipole Arrays Offset arrays are directional antennas for use when a base station is at one end of the coverage area. These new arrays feature improved gain, low noise performance and enhanced null fill coverage in an array with typical cardioid coverage characteristics. OA Series arrays feature the same solid construction as the BA and EA series. The array utilizes an internal phasing harness in PTFE based double-shielded coaxial cable with polyethylene jacket to aid waterproofing and resist scratch or puncture damage. The OA Series have slightly more than 170 horizontal beamwidth, thus everything in front of the antenna is given coverage. This eliminates the possibility of fading at the extremities of the target coverage area. The level of radiation at the rear of the antenna is approximately unity gain. As would be expected from a cardioid array, the vertical beamwidth is slightly greater than its BA omnidirectional or EA elliptical pattern counterparts. 1
PIM-RATED ANTENNAS FSA Series & CSA Series VHF and UHF Directional Antennas The FSA Series arrays are based on the popular OA Series dipole array antennas. Supplied in kit form these antennas are delivered in flat pack packaging to minimize freight and warehousing issues and allow for simplified assembly at time of installation.the use of the flat screen reflector boosts the front to back ratio considerably allowing for tailoring antenna patterns for frequency re-use in extended networks. FSA Series Arrays feature the same solid construction as the standard array series. The folded dipoles utilize an internal phasing harness in PTFE based double screened coaxial cable with a polyethylene jacket. The screens themselves are also made of fully welded aluminum to assist in minimizing PIM. With all welded construction and superior internal harness construction the antennas provide not only excellent radiation characteristics but also defined, high levels of intermodulation and noise suppression. IM performance is -140dBc based on a two carrier test. The entire array rests at ground potential and offers the ultimate in lightning resistant antennas. EA Series VHF and UHF Elliptical Dipole Arrays The EA series arrays provide exceptionally high gain with an elliptical shaped radiation pattern, ideal for the bi-directional coverage requirements of some corridor applications. The array utilizes an internal phasing harness in PTFE based double-shielded coaxial cable with polyethylene jacket to aid waterproofing and resist scratch or puncture damage. The main lobe of these antennas is strong and highly controlled with extensive side lobe suppression ensuring the integrity of the pattern. Superior performance is maintained over the entire operating bandwidth of the antenna (400-520 MHz). VSWR is maintained at <1.5:1 and input power levels of 500 watts are accommodated for true high density site requirements. With all welded construction and superior internal harness construction (using highly stable PTFE based cables) the antennas provide not only excellent radiation characteristics but also high levels of intermodulation and noise suppression. IM performance is a world leading -150dBC based on a two carrier test. The entire array rests at ground potential and offers the ultimate in lightning resistant antennas. STANDARD BROADBAND ANTENNAS This is a series of robust, high-power broadband omni-directional antennas were designed to complement our widebandwidth multicoupling systems covering the frequency range of 450-512 MHz. Through a true corporatefeed design, equal in-phase power is distributed to each radiating element. This method insures excellent vertical pattern control and shaping, low loss, and beam-tilt that does not vary over the operating bandwidth of the antenna. This patented design was achieved through the use of a 5-chamber extrusion which acts as the central core of the antenna and provides a low impedance direct ground for lightning protection. The rugged fiberglass radome and its interface to the mounting tube have survived extensive wind-tunnel testing at wind velocities exceeding category 5 hurricane forces. Antenna data files are available in TIA-IS-804 format for inclusion in popular commercial propagation analysis programs. 2
