Todays Requirements For Base Station Antennas

Must . . .
Offer superior, repeatable electrical performance to well-defined specifications Significantly provide containment of out-of-sector power and suppression of intermodulation improve the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR)! Accommodate flexible system configurations Be readily available Meet conditions for zoning approval Stand the test of time with rugged mechanical design Provide cost-effective solutions to coverage needs
The focus of future technology enhancements should be on improving system performance aspects that improve and maximize the experienced SNRs in the system. Peter Rysavy of Rysavy Research, Data Capabilities: GPRS to HSDPA and Beyond, 3G Americas, September 2005

CommScope is the industry leader in passive intermodulation suppression. 100% PIM testing performed on all Andrew base station antennas.

Noise Containment PIM

Noise containment in the RF path is essential for 3G and LTE:
Passive Inter Modulation (PIM) is caused by loose metal connections, poor design... Noise reduces receiver sensitivity on the BTS level. Mobiles increase power to overcome noise and increase uplink interference. The best BTS cannot overcome noisy/poorly designed products or bad installation. 3G and LTE require superior noise suppression.

CommScope DualPol Antennas Are MIMO Ready

If the channels are sufficiently uncorrelated, theoretically a capacity increase of 2 x or 4 x can be obtained. Correlation in a MIMO antenna system is caused by:
RF coupling
Inter-element Between arrays

Cross-polar radiation

Research funded by Andrew at University of Texas has added a more exact antenna treatment to the LTE channel model. Simulation results confirm that the performance of the patented Andrew DualPol specs are acceptable for MIMO:
30 dB of port-to-port isolation 10 dB of cross-polar discrimination across the sector
