Design Concept:
Omnidirectional Radiation Pattern: Provides 360-degree coverage in the horizontal plane, allowing for uniform signal distribution in all directions.
Broad Frequency Range: Covers a wide range from 700 MHz to 2700 MHz, including both lower and higher frequency bands used in various communication technologies.
Key Features:
Gain:
4 dBi Gain: Offers a moderate level of signal amplification. This gain provides a balance between signal strength and coverage area, making it suitable for many wireless communication applications.
Frequency Range:
700-2700 MHz: This broad frequency range covers multiple communication standards, including cellular networks (e.g., GSM, LTE), Wi-Fi, and other wireless communication systems.
Omnidirectional Pattern:
360-Degree Coverage: Ensures even signal distribution in all horizontal directions, ideal for applications requiring consistent coverage.
Construction:
Durable Materials: Typically made from weather-resistant materials like aluminum, fiberglass, or high-grade plastics, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Compact Design: Often designed to be compact and unobtrusive, allowing for easy installation in various settings.
Design Specifications:
Frequency Range:
700-2700 MHz: Designed to operate efficiently across this broad frequency range, making it adaptable to different communication technologies.
Gain:
4 dBi Gain: Provides a good level of signal amplification while maintaining broad coverage. Suitable for general wireless communication needs where higher gain is not critical.
Size and Shape:
Vertical Structure: Typically features a vertical design, such as a monopole or collinear array, to achieve omnidirectional coverage.
Connector Types:
Common Connectors: May include connectors like SMA, N-type, or TNC. Ensure compatibility with your equipment.
Construction and Installation:
Mounting:
Pole or Mast Mount: Designed to be mounted on a pole or mast. Includes mounting hardware for secure installation.
