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.

– 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.

Today’s Requirements For Base Station Antennas
23PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL © 2011 CommScope, Inc
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.

• Minimises dropped calls near the basestation

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
