The Base Station Antenna Future

LTE700 (US) Low band High-Band broadband LTE2600Ultra-broad-band

BWA

13


The number of frequency bands is increasing driving the need

for more complicated multi-band antennas

RFS is investing in multi-band antenna technology that provides new

functionality while limiting the impact on existing cell sites

• New Frequency spectrum = new antennas types

• Antennas with broader frequency range is needed, trend for Ultra Broadband

• Load in the tower can be a big challenge

• No additional antenna in tower! Swap one X-Pol antenna with one X2-Pol antenna

• New cables transmission-lines or diplexers?

May 2011

ShareLite Diplexer

Feeder sharing combines two communication systems such as GSM & UMTS into one feeder cable.

Feeder sharing or a new set of feeders are needed when deploying a dual band site.

RFS offers both solutions:

– Extra run of cables

26

– Extra run of cables

– Combine them using ShareLite diplexers


Both are good options and RFS

can supports either approach

NEW TMA Platform – UltraAmp series

TMA Platform

• RFS has during 2010 designed a new innovative TMA platform.

• The platform consist of one-size-box for all models, from 1800 to 2600 MHz, to

reuse design, tools & components as much as possible.

• The platform includes a dual mode AISG interface towards the BTS, or an

interface option with CWA alarms only, when remote tilt is not needed.

• Distributes high power (BTS) RF signal into various low power

antenna points with low loss RF cable (Cellflex, Cellflex Lite)

• (Ultra-) broadband indoor antennas and indoor passive RF

components (couplers, splitters)

Applications

• Provide coverage to mission critical & commercial services to

confined areas like tunnels and buildings

• Design services to design complete

e2e tunnel / building coverage
