INVADER™
- Solid State Mini-Cell Design
ANTENEX
®
is proud to introduce a new compact line of
fiberglass base station antennas. The Invader™ is a low visibility
an-tenna intended for local coverage applications in urban sites.
From Analog to Digital, DATA to SCADA, the technical
specifications for antennas have reached far beyond what was
®
acceptable just a decade ago.
ANTENEX
takes pride in
leading the industry to higher standards than ever before.
A tuned bandwidth-expanding network is integral to the
Invader™ antenna, which ensures an excellent VSWR over both
the up link and down link portions of the desired frequency band.
800/900 MHz Invader™ antennas are end-fed collinear
antennas with a down-tilt radiating pattern and are intended for
local cover-age operation in high-density urban sites where
coverage below the antenna is crucial. These antennas are more
compact, lower in cost, and shorter in length than comparable
parallel-fed antennas.
1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.4 GHz Invader™ antennas are
parallel-fed collinear antennas with no down-tilt and are intended
for generalpurpose applications. Parallel-fed collinear antennas
have an increased efficiency at microwave frequencies, a more
constant radiation angle with frequency and have better immunity
to detuning from icing and rain than the typical end-fed collinear.
ANTENEX
®
has chosen to lead the way in the design of these
antennas to provide a superior product in a market that shows
great promise for growth over the next decade.
Both end-fed and parallel-fed models are available with
built in “N”-female connectors. End-fed models are also available
with pigtail connectors.
The standard Invader™ features a 1” marine style
threaded base mount and is excellent for pass through mounting
on telemetry enclosures. The sleeve version identified by the “SL”
suffix easily mounts to a mast with the new FMCB mount, see
page 11. The FMCB mount makes a great wall bracket when the
“U” bolt is removed. An economical choice is the pigtail version,
suffixed with “P”.
We are often questioned about the down-tilt aspect on the
800 and 900 MHz urban Invader™ as this pattern puts a signal
null on the horizon. Our down-tilt angle was selected to minimize
the signal power that is wasted above the horizon and maximizes
the signal that is delivered into the antenna’s service area. The
sophisticated user recognizes that at these frequencies, when the
antennas are located only a few feet off the ground, all signal
paths are achieved by reflection. A 20-degree down-tilt angle
therefore provides the maximum signal into the areas where
propagation is desired. As down-tilt is most easily achieved in end-
fed collinear antennas, this geometry was selected for our urban
Invader™ models. All Invader™ models are tested on a HP®
network analyzer prior to shipment.
