    6-Port Multi-Band Antennas


    Kathreins unique antenna technology
    combines three different frequency
    ranges installed into just one single
    radome. The design of Kathreins
    6-port antennas is either realised in
    filter, stacked or multi-array technology.
    Available frequency combinations
    include:

    790-862/880-960/
    1710-2180 MHz (integrated filter)
    790-960/1710-1880/

    8-Port Multi-Band Antennas


    Four antenna systems are placed in
    one common radome, where each
    system is equipped with an inde-
    pendent electrical downtilt mecha-
    nism. Kathrein 8-port antennas have
    a very small width due to the unique
    filter technology. They are available for
    different frequencies as filtered or side-
    by-side multi-array solutions including:

    698-862/880-960/1710-2170/
    2490-2690 MHz (integrated filter)

    Antenna Solutions I 10 and 12-Port Antennas I 7

    Due to the growing requirements for


    mobile services along with the limi-
    ted space on available sites, Kathrein
    has succeeded in developing high-
    end multi-array 10- and 12-port
    antennas:

    10-Port Multi-Band Antennas


    Kathreins 10-port design offers almost
    unlimited possibilities for network roll-
    outs and future system requirements.
    This multi-array antenna is not only suit-
    able for site sharing purposes but also
    for MIMO applications such as 4 x 4
    MIMO for LTE 1800 and/or 2.6.

    10-Port Antenna
    698-960/4 x 1695-2690 MHz
    (up to 8 x 8 MIMO)
    698-960/2 x 1695-2180/
    2 x 2490-2690 MHz (4 x 4 MIMO)

    12-Port Multi-Band Antennas


    Another step in antenna evolution is
    Kathreins 12-port antenna. Besides
    4 ultra-broadband high-band systems,
    this version also offers 2 low-band sys-
    tems. Each system is equipped with
    independent tilt adjustment set by Flex-
    RET.

    698-862/880-960/4 x 1710-
    2690 MHz (up to 8 x 8 MIMO)

    MHz (up to 8x8 MIMO) 12-Port Antenna
    8 I Antenna Solutions I Indoor and Small Cell

    Indoor Antennas
    Kathrein offers a comprehensive port-
    Ceiling-mounted
    folio of indoor antennas for ceiling and
    wall mounting. The design of these an-
    tennas is characterised by the capabi-
    lity of supplying multi-band coverage.
    This means only one indoor antenna
    is sufficient to cover a huge range of
    mobile communication services from
    694 up to 6000 MHz. 1-Port Antenna

    Small Cell Antennas


    Kathrein as the worlds largest antenna
    manufacturer offers different antenna
    solutions in order to support their cus- Micro Cell
    Antenna
    tomers in their effort to deploy small
    cell outdoor solutions for 3G and LTE.
    Not only do these antennas meet reli-
    able electrical parameters, the unob-
    trusive design also minimises the visual
    impact especially in sensitive urban
    areas.

    Antenna Solutions I MIMO & 4.3-10 Connector I 11

    In general, all 2-port single column antennas are suitable for


    2 x 2 MIMO. Due to emerging mobile applications and the
    necessity for higher download rates, operators will be forced to
    offer higher order MIMO solutions in order to satisfy their subscri-
    bers. Kathreins outstanding multi-array design will be one of the
    key elements required to reach the goal of high quality networks.
    In terms of high-order MIMO requirements, Kathrein is already
    able to offer certain antennas, e.g.:

    Up to 4 x 4 MIMO
    1710-2180/1710-2180 MHz
    1710-2690/1710-2690 MHz
    698-960/2 x 1710-269 MHz
    2 x 698-960/2 x 1695-2690 MHz
    2 x 790-960/2 x 1710-2180 MHz
    2 x 1710-2170/2 x 2490-2690 MHz
    Up to 8 x 8 MIMO
    698-960/4 x 1710-2690 MHz
    698-862/880-960/4 x 1710-2690 MHz

    4.3-10 Connector
    Kathrein provides new antennas and antenna line products with
    this new connector series. This 4.3-10 connector is an advanced
    development of the 7-16 interface and represents the new
    generation of mobile communication interfaces.

    The advantages of this new connector are:


    reduced dimensions on the bottom plate for more
    installation space
    improved PIM-stability and performance
    eased installation, lower tightening torque
    The universal 4.3-10 jack can be used with 3 different
    connector types (screw type, push pull type and hand
    screw type)
