For Particular Applications

Antennas for The distinguishing features of these special versions,

e.g. parabolic panels or log. periodic antennas, are:
– tunnel use
– very small half-power beam width (high gain)
– railway use
– high sidelobe suppression
– micro cells (street use)
– also Dual-band and Multi-band versions
– high gain link for repeaters
– bidirectional horizontal pattern.

Distinguishing features

Design Compact size and elegant design are the distinguishing features of
Kathrein’s antenna families.

Radome The radomes cover the internal antenna components. The fiberglass materi-
al guarantees optimum performance with regards to stability, strength, UV
resistance, painting and weather protection.

Environmental influences Kathrein antenna designs are based on fundamental engineering knowledge
and also on our decades of practical experience, during which the various
constructions and materials used have proved their outstanding reliability.

Environmental conditions Kathrein cellular antennas are designed to operate under the environmental
conditions as described in ETS 300 019-1-4 class 4.1 E.
The antennas exceed this standard with regards to the following items:
– Low temperature: –55 °C
– High temperature (dry): +60 °C

Impedance Standard Impedance for all products is 50 Ω unless otherwise stated.

Great variety of According to the antenna type selected, customer can choose from different
half-power beam width, half-power beam widths. Gain values up to 22.5 dBi and electrical
gain values, downtilts up to 15° for panel antennas are available. Downtilts are either
electrical downtilt fixed or adjustable or even controlled by remote electrical tilt system (RET).

Low intermodulation After many years of experience in the construction of antennas and after
products (typically –150 dBc) intensive research into the effects of intermodulation, we have been able to
optimize the material and technology used for antennas (the given value
refers to 3rd order products measured with 2 carriers of 20 W each).

Excellent tracking Tracking states the symmetry between the +45° and –45° polarized
horizontal pattern. Bad tracking values lead to interferences in the network
and reduced diversity performance. Kathreins special Tracking compensa-
tion reduces the average value measured at ±60° to < 2 dB.

Superior squint Squint, also often referred to as “Pattern Symmetry”, gives the symmetry of
the pattern over the whole frequency range measured at the 3 dB points.
Interferences and nulls in the network may be the result of bad values. In
contrast to the vertical squint which is usually good, excellent squint values
of the horizontal pattern are hard to reach.
Kathreins superior values of ± 5 % of the half-power beam width are in line
with the requirements from system suppliers.

Multi-band design Depending on antenna family broad-band, multi-band, dual-band and

triple-band versions can be offered. Therefore the varity of antennas used
can be kept to a minimum.

Excellent grounding The antennas are DC grounded according EN 50083-1.

Multi-functional Depending on the type, the antennas are equipped with up to 3 attachment
installation hardware points. Panels can be wall-mounted without any additional hardware. For
mast-mounting, stainless steel brackets and mechanical downtilt kits are
available. To assist the installation technicians in aligning the panels, an
azimuth adjustment tool can be supplied (see Mechanical Accessories).

MTBF Statement Traditionally passive components like antennas cannot be well calculated
due to the lack of a sufficient number of components in the MTBF library.
Unfortunately this constraint results in a very inaccurate calculation. Thus
such results are technically questionable and unrealistic.
In essence, antennas are made out of mechnical parts that do not show any
failure rates. Only available failure rates can be calculated into an MTBF
value. Consequently such components cannot be listed in any MTBF library.

Remote Electical Tilt System Kathrein hereby states that RET devices, as far as the functionality and
AISG Compliancy features are described within the AISG / 3 GPP standard, are compliant with
the standard.
