operators will have to offer High Speed Packet
Access (HSPA) service or roll-out networks
based on the latest mobile communication
standard Long-Term-Evolution (LTE).

Data transfer rates
The following table shows average and peak

data rates for different mobile communication
standards. A good example to illustrate those
values is the growing use of mobile video.
For a video stream being watched on a
conventional smartphone, a constant download
rate of at least 1 Mbit/s is needed. Comparing
that to the values given in the table, it is obvious
that only HSPA or LTE can provide the expected
average data rate.

One example of feeder-sharing is shown in figure 5
right. The first schematic depicts a standard site

separate cables which are often not regarded for
the calculation of CAPEX related issues.

but with shared feeder cables between the base 900 1800 2100
station and the antenna. To achieve feeder
sharing, multi-band combiners are used on both
RF paths. Depending on the length of cable
runs required, the deployment of multi-band
combiners offers considerable potential for cost
saving during both initial installation and/ or the
upgrading of existing sites for next generation
solutions.

The example on figure 7 also demonstrates Standard installation (per sector)
the use of Tower Mounted Amplifiers (TMAs) in

is often used in order to increase the sensitivity
of the receiver in the system. Generally the radio 1800 2100
link from the base station to the end-user in the MHz MHz
cell is satisfactory (downlink). The radio link from
the end-user to the base station (uplink), on the
other hand, is often lower in power and is prone
to fading and other site specific effects. This
can cause dropped calls. In particular, the base
station may lose subscribers located at the edge
of the cell due to poor uplink performance.

Kathrein offer a variety of legacy TMA products.
However, in recent months and years increased
focus has been made on new TMAs specifically
for LTE applications (800, 1800 and 2600) and TMA TMA

in conjunction with either existing broad-band

Kathrein technology -
solutions for spectrum sharing
The term same-band combiner is used to define
combiners based on cavity or resonator band-
pass filters which combine two neighboring
frequency bandwidths within one mobile
communications spectrum onto a common
output. A guard-band is required to separate the
neighboring frequency bands; i.e. a minimum
frequency spacing needs to be respected when
combining adjacent frequency bands. Kathrein’s
portfolio of same-band combiners is tuned to
order and has a significantly lower insertion
loss compared to hybrid combiners, which are
generally deployed when a guard-band is not
available.
