Installation of Antenna & Feeder

What is antenna ?

 An Antenna is any device used to

collect or radiate Electromagnetic
Waves.
Type of antenna
 By frequency band: GSM900, GSM1800,
GSM900/1800
 By polarization: Vertical, Horizontal, ±45º linear
 polarization, circle polarization
 By pattern: Omni-directional, directional
 By down-tilt: Non, mechanical, electronic
adjustment, remote control
 By function: Transmission, receiving,
transceiving
ANTENNA ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
• Operating Frequency Band
• Input impedance
• VSWR
• Polarization
• Gain
• Radiation Pattern
• Horizontal/Vertical beamwidth
ANTENNA ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES(Cont:)
• Downtilt

• Front/back ratio

• Sidelobe suppression and null

filling

• Power capability

• 3rd order Intermodulation

• Insulation
Antenna Use in GSM system

Directional antenna Omni antenna

Type of Directional antenna

Linear polarization, vertical

X-polarization, 45
Choice of antenna
 For dense city area---- three-sector-cell is preferred
with a coverage radius of 0.5～1.0km

 For rural area----three-sector-cell or O site are

preferred with a coverage radius of 2-8Km

 For middle size city or suburb---- three-sector-cell or

O site are preferred with a coverage radius of 1－
4Km

 For area along backbone highway or narrow area----

two-sector-cell is preferred with a distance of 15～
25km from one to another.
Antenna Separation
 (1)The vertical interval between
directional antennas within
different sectors installed on the
same antenna support should be
more than 0.6 m.

 (2)When isolated from an antenna

in G network, the vertical
separation should be more than 1
m, and the horizontal separation
should be more than 2 m.

Precaution of Antenna installation
• Safety first

• Use Safety belt and helmet

• Use the tools for exact size

• Make sure the tie for lifting rope

• Fixed the pulley in proper place

with eye wire.

• Avoid to touch the antenna for

tower member while lifting.

• Traction rope pull with not much

tension.
