Integration of New technologies over existing network


• RF technology flexible — suitable for LTE, UMTS, CDMA, GSM, AWS, WiMAX, and other applications from 1710–2690 MHz

• Employs state-of-the-art ultra wideband technology providing excellent RF performance in all bands

• Provides a “future-proof” antenna solution with flexibility to reassign antenna, for example GSM 1800 service to 2.6 GHz LTE at a later date

• Excellent RF pattern control over the full operating band and tilt range for desired coverage and interference containment due to superior PIM performance

• Electrical tilt can be adjusted manually and is RET capable — can easily be upgraded for remote tilting in the future

Twin Beam Advantages

• Two beams from a single antenna at the same width as a standard 33°antenna — 2 x the

width of 65°antenna at 12 inches.

• 3 to 6 sectors with the same number of antennas.

• Uses conventional beamforming technology – butler matrix.

• Increased gain of the 33°antenna improves in-building penetration.

• 2 X 2 MIMO Ready.

Agile Systems Optimization —Basic Configuration

• RET systems always include:

– A controller (rack mount, portable, or OEM)

– Actuators

– AISG control cables

• Multiple actuators can be joined together by daisy-chaining control cables or by using a junction box.

• Electrical tilt adjustments can be made remotely from the office over a network connection.

• Either a smart bias tee or an AISG TMA divides out

the AISG signal from the coaxial line at the top of the

tower and feeds the signal to the AISG antenna line.

CommScope is the industry leader in passive intermodulation suppression.

100% PIM testing performed on all Andrew base station antennas.

Today’s Requirements For 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.


• >22dB nullfill level

• Minimises dropped calls near the basestation

• Especially important in sites with low downtilt or high towers

exact antenna treatment to the LTE channel model.exact antenna treatment to the LTE channel model.

Simulation results confirm that the performance of the patented Andrew

DualPol® specs are acceptable for MIMO:

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

• 30 dB of port-to-port isolation

• 10 dB of cross-polar discrimination across the sector


New CommScope Base Station Antenna Performance Assurance Center

• Opened in Spring 2011; located at

our Suzhou, China facility

• Customers are able to send

antenna products to this center for performance testing, which:

– Enables more precise evaluation

to optimize for 3G and 4G markets

– Assists in qualification, deliver, and

bidding tests

– Facilitates related technical

training for staffers

• World-class testing equipment provides greater throughput in
