Antenna Line Devices I Introduction

Introduction
Quality and cost-effectiveness are two of the main concerns
when establishing and upgrading mobile communication sites.
Besides antennas and base station equipment, the cabling
is also an important factor in terms of investment. The higher
the antenna site, the more costly the cabling. One common
approach to save feeder lines is to use combiners near the
base station and antenna in order to combine different fre-
quency paths on common feeder cables and to split them
up at the antenna again. Kathrein offers a broad product
portfolio to cover all these requirements in mobile communi-
cation networks.

When it comes to network quality, dropped calls or decreased


data rates should be avoided in any case. An imbalanced net-
work can be the reason for such problems. By using DTMAs
(Double Tower Mounted Amplifiers), the balance of the network
can be restored and optimised.

Kathrein antenna line devices stand for exceptional PIM-


performance as well as outstanding weather and corrosion
resistance. All new ALD-products are equipped with the PIM-
improved RF-interface 4.3-10.

Antenna Line Devices I Multi-Band Combiners

Multi-Band Combiners

▪▪Feeder line and antenna sharing


▪▪Co-siting of two or more BTS operated in different
frequency bands

Dual-Band Combiner Triple-Band Combiner

Quad-Band Combiner

Auto-Sense Technology
▪▪DC/AISG signal is bypassed to connected ALDs
according to three different functional preconfigurations
▪▪The combiner detects its role in the system and
automatically adjusts the behaviour accordingly
▪▪Installation mistakes can be easily revealed as LEDs
for each port indicate if DC/AISG is bypassed or not
▪▪The multi usability of Kathrein Auto-Sense Combiners
helps to reduce stock, ordering logistics and number
of parts
