The new SKS230090-16N-001 dual 45° slant sector antenna from Laird Technologies is specifically designed for WiMAX/broadband wireless applications. The antenna operates in the 2.3 to 2.7GHz with 16.5dBi gain at 2.5GHz and +45° and -45° polarisation. Significantly reduced upper side lobes and null fill below the horizon are achieved, resulting in reduced interference and better coverage. The antenna features proprietary design elements and low-loss feed network, resulting in high levels of system performance and ruggedness while maintaining a slim profile with low wind and ice loading.
Low loss feed stripline, network and efficient dipole radiators provide high efficiency and gain. Improved matching of the radiating elements and feed network allows for better pattern control in elevation. Optimised for maximum ratio combining, two Type N-f connectors at the bottom are provided for easy installation. The antenna is suitable for high multi-path environment, large carrier class deployment, and WiMAX service provider applications.
