2100 MHz Dual Polarized Antenna

Features
Optimum system performance
Top value at lowest total cost over time
Evolved from well-proven leading-edge technology
Discreet, slim, aesthetically pleasing design
Optional Manual adjustable Electrical Tilt (MET) for
tuning flexibility
Can be upgraded to remote controlled RET
functionality starting in 2002

Design Philosophy
The Allgon singleband, dual polarized UMTS antenna with its
ultra-slim design and sophisticated electrical performance
ensures maximum efficiency, as well as a stable pattern over
the entire frequency range. This design relies on leading-edge
patch technology fed via a micro strip PCB network. The slant
+ 45 dual polarization system provides the independent fading
signals needed for achieving top-quality coverage via diversity
concepts.
The optional Manual adjustable Electrical Tilt (MET) module is based
on a patented sliding dielectric that minimizes intermodulation
distortion and maximizes efficiency. The MET allows you to fieldadjust the electrical tilt from 0 - VBW for optimum roll-off effect.

Quality Materials
Proper use of materials and their structure ensures
performance integrity. In antennas the electrical performance
is directly related to mechanical performance. The choice of
radome material is crucial since it acts as a window between
the radiating elements and the coverage area. Our UV
stabilized PVC radome is resistant to moisture absorption.
Furthermore, our radomes can withstand mechanical stresses, even at low temperatures and long exposure to UV
radiation. For corrosion inhibition, we use aircraft quality aluminum alloy that is inherently resistant to corrosion caused by
the environment.

Performance
The Allgon UMTS panel antennas have verified
vertical pattern performance on 100% of the
antennas. Given the narrow mechanical width and
depth of the product, the offerings are unmatched in
Front-to-Back Ratio for all opening angles. The
UMTS panel antenna has consistent reliable performance from frequency to frequency and product to
product.

Brackets
Allgon antenna mounts have been carefully designed
and tested to ensure a fast and problem-free
installation. The mounts are pre-mounted or co-packed
with the antenna and ready for mounting directly to a
pole, outside diameter 1.0 - 5.0 (25-125 mm). They
can be mounted vertically or tilted, see tilt range
specified in each antenna specification. For more information, please see pages 48 - 50.

Testing
Allgon prides itself on stringent testing requirements
with conservative, yet realistic claims of the performance of our product offering. For more information
on testing procedures, see page 47. Our front-toback ratios are specified for +/- 20 from 180 (worst
case) to 0.

Features
Covers Several different frequency bands
Superior radiation pattern
High cross polar discrimination factor
Excellent front-to-back ratio
AEDT functionality for tuning flexibility
Field adjustable Manual adjustable Electrical Tilt
(MET) in one degree increments
Prepared for remote-controlled MET functionality

Design Philosophy
The Allgon Broad Band antenna design is based
on a patented stacked aperture-coupled patch
technology, which provides high isolation
performance and a wide VSWR bandwidth. The
antennas have superior radiation patterns due to
a unique reflector design which provides a very
small variation of the -3 dB horizontal beam width
over the frequency band as well as a high front-toback ratio. Allgon Broad Band antennas come
with MET for tuning flexibility of tilt angles. For
MET information, see page 45. This design
ensures the highest possible cross-polar
discrimination value.

Quality Materials
Proper use of materials and their structure ensure
performance integrity. In antennas, the electrical
performance is directly related to mechanical
structure. The choice of radome material is crucial
since it acts as a window between the radiating
elements and the coverage area. Our UV stabilized
PVC and extruded fiberglass radomes have
extremely low moisture absorption. Further, our
radomes withstand mechanical stresses, even at
low temperatures and long exposure to UV
radiation. For corrosion inhibition, we use aircraft
quality aluminum alloy that is inherently resistant to
corrosion caused by the environment.

Performance
The Allgon Dual Polarized antenna has been
designed and tested to ensure maximum
performance and reduced polarization errors.
Isolation is another important aspect of dual
polarized antennas. A well designed antenna
should have at least 30 dB - it is a sign of quality
and shows how much effort has been put into the
design stage.

Brackets
Allgon antenna mounts have been carefully
designed and tested to ensure a fast and problemfree installation. The mounts are pre-mounted or
co-packed with the antenna and ready for
mounting directly to a pole, outside diameter 1.0 5.0 (25-125 mm). They can be mounted vertically
or tilted, see tilt range specified in each antenna
specification. For more information, please see
pages 48 - 50.

Testing
Allgon prides itself on stringent testing requirements with conservative, yet realistic claims of
the performance of our product offering. For
more information on testing procedures, see
page 47. Our front-to-back ratios are specified
for +20 from 180 (worst case) to 0 in a total
power configuration.

Features
Slant 45 degree design to optimize
performance
Superior diversity performance due to
patented element design
High cross polar discrimination factor
High port to port isolation
Minimum squint and tracking
Superior vertical pattern shaping for
interference reduction
Optional Manual adjustable Electrical Tilt
(MET) for tuning flexibility
Can be upgraged to remote controlled RET
functionality starting in 2002

Design Philosophy
The Allgon Dual Polarized antenna is designed
with a slant +/- 45 configuration which has
equal signal strengths on both polarizations. The
ultra-slim design and sophisticated electrical
performance ensures maximum efficiency, as
well as a stable pattern over the entire frequency
range. This design relies on leading-edge patch
technology fed via a micro strip PCB network.
The slant +/- 45 dual polarization system
provides the independent fading signals needed
for achieving top-quality coverage via diversity
concepts.
The optional Manual adjustable Electrical Tilt
(MET) module is based on a patented sliding
dielectric that minimizes intermodulation
distortion and maximizes efficiency. The MET
function allows you to field-adjust the electrical
tilt from 0 to VBW for optimum roll-off effect.

P o l a r i z e d

Performance
The Allgon Dual Polarized antenna has been
designed and tested to ensure maximum
performance and reduced polarization errors.
Isolation is another important aspect of dual
polarized antennas. A well designed antenna should
have at least 30 dB - it is a sign of quality and shows
how much effort has been put into the design stage.

Brackets
Allgon antenna mounts have been carefully
designed and tested to ensure a fast and problemfree installation. The mounts are pre-mounted or copacked with the antenna and ready for mounting
directly to a pole, outside diameter 1.0 - 5.0 (25125 mm). They can be mounted vertically or tilted,
see tilt range specified in each antenna specification.
For more information, please see pages 48 - 50.

Quality Materials
Proper use of materials and their structure ensure
performance integrity. In antennas, the electrical
performance is directly related to mechanical
structure. The choice of radome material is crucial
since it acts as a window between the radiating
elements and the coverage area. Our UV stabilized
PVC and ASA radomes have extremely low
moisture absorption. Further, our radomes
withstand mechanical stresses, even at low temperatures and long exposure to UV radiation. For
corrosion inhibition, we use aircraft quality aluminum alloy that is inherently resistant to corrosion
caused by the environment.

Design Philosophy
The Allgon Dual Polarized antenna is designed
with a slant + 45 configuration which has equal
signal strengths. Research has determined that
the horizontal/vertical configuration has large
differences in mean signal strength between the
two branches, because the horizontal component
has greater propogation loss than the vertical.
Our design is backed by the thorough research
and testing to insure the highest possible
diversity gain, isolation, and cross polar
discrimination.

Testing
Allgon prides itself on stringent testing
requirements with conservative, yet realistic
claims of the performance of our product
offering. For more information on testing
procedures, see page 47. Our front-to-back ratios
are specified for +20 from 180 (worst case) to 0
in a total power configuration.

Design Philosophy
The Allgon Slim Panel Antenna is designed in a
repeatable procedure which requires no tuning or
modification, with the specification being the
same from product to product. The Urban Slim
Panel antenna has a robust mechanical design
which does not rely on the radome for support.
The radome, which is only for weatherproofing, is
set inside the endcaps and allows for thermal
expansion.

Testing
Allgon prides itself on stringent testing requirements with conservative, yet realistic claims of
the performance of our product offering. For
more information on testing procedures, see
page 47. Our front-to-back ratios are specified for
+20 from 180 (worst case) to 0.

Performance
The Allgon Slim Panel antennas have verified
vertical pattern performance on 100% of the
antennas. The product line has a better than
1.4:1 VSWR receive and 1.3:1 transmit. The Slim
Panel antenna has consistent, reliable
performance from frequency to frequency and
product to product.

Brackets
Allgon antenna mounts have been carefully
designed and tested to ensure a fast and problemfree installation. The mounts are pre-mounted or
co-packed with the antenna and ready for
mounting directly to a pole, outside diameter 1.0 5.0 (25-125 mm). They can be mounted vertically
or tilted, see tilt range specified in each antenna
specification. For more information, please see
pages 48 - 50.

Quality Materials
Proper use of materials and their structure
ensures performance integrity. In antennas, the
electrical performance is directly related to
mechanical performance. The choice of radome
materials is crucial since it acts as a window
between the radiating elements and the
coverage area. Our UV stabilized PVC radome is
resistant to moisture absorption. Furthermore,
our radomes can withstand mechanical stresses,
even at low temperatures and long exposure to
UV radiation. For corrosion inhibition, we use
aircraft quality aluminum alloy that is inherently
resistant to corrosion caused by the environment.

Performance
The Omni antenna is designed to provide good

survive in wind speed of 156 mph, and also has
low deflection of <1 at 156 mph wind speed.

Design Philosophy
Our Omnidirectional antenna is designed in a
repeatable procedure which requires no tuning or
modification, with the specification being the
same from product to product. The Omni has a
somewhat larger diameter allowing room for individual feed of the radiating elements, easy control
of the amplitude and phase, and cables of sufficient dimensions for the current. Also, the larger
diameter allows for the extruded internal support
pipe which gives the Omni its robust and rigid
design, a greater survival wind speed, and allows
for a radome of extruded PVC plastics, thus
avoiding fiberglass.

Testing
Allgon prides itself on stringent testing requirements with conservative, yet realistic claims of
the performance of our product offering. For
more information on testing procedures, see
page 47.

Bracket hardware for the Omni is made of only


the highest quality acid-proof stainless steel and
is available in non-tilt mounting to a pipe. For
additional information, see pages 48 - 50.

Quality Materials
Proper use of materials and their structure
ensures performance integrity. In antennas, the
electrical performance is directly related to
mechanical performance. The choice of radome
material is crucial since it acts as a window
between the radiating elements and the
coverage area. The Omni antenna is made of
silverplated brass with an allydyne treatment to
resist corrosion. Also, the dielectric insulators are
made of teflon. Our UV stabilized PVC radome is
resistant to moisture absorption and can withstand mechanical stresses, even at low temperatures and long exposure to UV radiation.

Feed path yields consistent RF path
and IM performance
Easily adaptive to customer requirements

Design Philosophy
Our Indoor omnidirectional antenna is designed in
a repeatable procedure which requires no tuning or
modification, with the specification being the same
from product to product. The Indoor omni antenna
is designed to blend into a wall or ceiling inside a
building.

Testing
Allgon prides itself on stringent testing requirements with conservative, yet realistic claims of
the performance of our product offering. The
antenna is tested for VSWR, intermodulation,
power handling and gain.

Connectors
Type N , female connector.

Quality Materials
Proper use of materials and their structure
ensures performance integrity. In antennas, the
electrical performance is directly related to
mechanical performance. The choice of radome
material is crucial since it acts as a window
between the radiating elements and the
coverage area.

Manual Adjustable Electrical Tilt


(MET)
The optional Manual Adjustable
Electrical Downtilt (MET) module is
based on a patented sliding dielectric that
minimizes intermodulation distortion and
maximizes efficiency. The MET allow you
to field adjust the electrical tilt. For more
information on MET, see page 45 .

Benefits
Using three Allgon Dual Band Antennas
per sector face, in-band duplexing is not
required. You utilize existing Feeder
cables. It allows for future 1800 MHz
deployment without another tower climb.
These can be reduced to two antennas
per sector face in full duplex operation
(for high environmental impact sites).
Using four single band antennas per
sector face, you need only two feeder
cables per sector. The four single band
antennas per sector face allow for ease of
mechanical
downtilt
optimization
between bands. You may reduce this
setup to three antennas per sector face
using a dual polarized 1800 MHz
antenna.

Antenna Beam Tilt

A n t e n n a

General
In early analog networks, antenna beam tilt was used in order to improve the system performance. The proven
effect is that a better illumination control can be achieved.
Mechanical antenna tilt was the inital method used in the industry but electriccal down tilt has become the
common industry method.
The difference between mechanical and electrical down tilt can be examined in figure 1.

T i l t

However, with electrical tilting, the effect is almost the same in all azimuth directions, maintaining the
footprint shape while reducing the total illuminated area.
Initially the electrical tilt was fixed and factory set and field adjustments were made through mechanical
tilting. This is still the most common method in 2G networks. However, Allgon has produced and delivered
antennas with field adjustable electrical downtilt MET (AEDT) since mid the 1990's.
A lesson from 2G is that flexibility in coverage is of greatest value in the initial rollout phase when the
network is immature and the traffic patterns and system behavior are less known. Obviously an operator
with experience from 2G systems will have an advantage to those without, since at least the traffic pattern
for speech is known. In the discussion and planning of the 3G-network rollout, further flexibility methods of
illumination control have been addressed. This has resulted in a number of new acronyms such as,
Fixed Electrical Tilt (FET), a traditional fixed factory set electrical tilted antenna.
Manually adjustable Electrical down Tilt = MET (AEDT) where adjustments are made up in the tower on
the physical antenna structure turning a knob or pulling a steering rod.

New Allgon MET (AEDT) Concept


Allgons new MET (AEDT) module is based on a patented sliding dielectric that minimizes intermodulation
distortion and maximizes efficiency. The MET design ensures constant electrical quality. Dual band
antennas with four connector ports allow separate tilts on each frequency band and ensure the use of
diversity concepts. The MET allows you to field-adjust the electrical tilt from 0 to the first null at horizon,
for optimum roll-off effect. Equipping your system with Allgons MET antennas prepares you for optimum
control of your cell limits, thus allowing for optimized soft/softer handover areas. Allgons MET
functionality and reliability optimizes your system for the future.
The MET (AEDT) function is included in Allgons antennas released during 2001 such as the UMTS, XMetro
and DXC families. It will also be included in the broad band antenna families under development.
Advantages with MET (AEDT) function include:
Independent adjustable electrical down-tilt for tuning flexibility on both bands for dual band antennas
Field-adjustable in 1-degree increments, from 0 to first null at horizon
Prepared for remote-controlled RET functionality

Base Station Antennas Page 46

Antenna Beam Tilt

Note that with mechanical down tilt, the full effect is only seen in one direction (main) and consequently the
tilt effect is greater in that direction than others.

Testing Procedures

T e s t i n g

P r o c e d u r e s

Allgon prides itself on stringent testing requirements with conservative, yet realistic claims of the performance of our
product offering. Our antennas are evaluated on performance and reliability.

Performance
Electrical performance can be subdivided into a set of parameters/tests that characterizes the antennas ability to
function well; however, good performance is also the sign of good quality and that a lot of effort has been put into the
antenna at the design stage. Every Allgon antenna is verified with the following list of parameters:
Radiation Pattern
Horizontal Beamwidth
Elevational beamwidth
First upper sidelobe suppression

Electrical tilt angle


Front-to-Back Ratio
First null fill below horizon

Intermodulation Products
Gain
Power Handling
Return Loss
Lightning Protection
Durability

Reliability
The mechanical stability of an antenna directly effects its electrical performance, therefore our antennas are designed
to withstand the harshest conditions and still perform appropriately. Allgon antennas are mechanically verified by the
following sequence. (These environmental tests are performed as a general specification. The antenna families may
have a few individual changes to the specification).

All antennas, except the City (800 MHz Panel), ALVC (800/1900 MHz Dualband), and ALX, will have these
mounting brackets pre-mounted. The pre-mounted brackets are functionally equivalent to the 7254.10 brackets,
with the same tilt range. The City, ALVC, and ALX antennas will have co-packed brackets.
The new brackets have a high quality surface treatment to maintain Allgon's standards for product exposure to
severe environments. Rigidity has been improved by using steel instead of aluminum in the sheet metal parts of
the tilt brackets. The tilt brackets are suitable for the majority of the antennas, except for antennas shorter than
20 (0.5 m), which come with no tilting option.
