Medium Gain Sector Antennas
®
For Broadband Wireless Systems
Frequency: 24.25-26.725 GHz
A
ndrew Broadband Communication Antennas
(BCA) offer an ideal solution to the complex and
difficult problem of providing optimum, cost effective
coverage for broadband communications.
Covering the 24.25-26.725 GHz band, this medium
gain 90° sector antenna delivers 18 dBi of gain.
The integration-ready design incorporates a side
entry waveguide flange and three mounting posts
to accommodate integration of radio equipment.
Custom configurations can be engineered to meet
specific customer requirements. Contact your
Andrew representative for details.
Features:
•
Gain Performance: 18 dBi @ 90° sector
•
Optional mount supports mounting to standard
pipe sizes (60-114 mm)
•
Equivalent pattern performance in both
horizontal and vertical polarizations
•
Pattern enhancement - provides continuous
coverage below the horizon
•
Complete band coverage: 24.25-26.725 GHz
•
