RF Elements 90 degree Wideband Symmetrical 6GHz Horn Antenna SH90WB

RF Elements 90 degree Wideband Symmetrical 6GHz Horn Antenna SH90WB

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas are scalar horn antennas designed to cover both 5 and 6 GHz unlicensed bands. They provide unique symmetrical beam radiation pattern and are equipped with the game-changing TwistPort^TM waveguide connector.  

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas are evolution of Symmetrical Horn TP Antennas providing multiple improvements and wide range of new key features.

Since their introduction in 2014, Symmetrical Horns solve major weak points of mainstream sector antenna technologies and provide excellent noise rejection, network scalability and throughput increase. Approved by over 100.000 field deployments, Symmetrical Horn Antennas have re-defined the sector antenna performance standards in FWA industry.

Covering Both 5 and 6 GHz Unlicensed Bands

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas provide more than 2,000 MHz wide band of operation covering whole 5 and 6 GHz unlicensed spectrum! Such a wide working band enables unmatched level of investment protection enabling Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas ready for upcoming new radio standards potentially requiring both 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands to be covered by one antenna.  

Unique Beam Shape

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas provide a unique beam shape and beam characteristics. The beam cross-section is circular with identical azimuth and elevation radiation angles. The beam reminds one of a standard torch light. 

Ultimate Beam Pattern Stability

The beam pattern does not vary with frequency and the antenna gain is balanced over the whole working frequency band covering more than 2.000 MHz (!) of spectrum. These features make Symmetrical Horns WB Antennas excellent sector antennas with stable and predictable beam performance across extremely wide band.

Virtually No Side Lobes

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas have Beam efficiency in range of 90-95%. It means, that they literally focus energy into one main signal beam. Such behavior saves the most important resource in wireless - the spectrum. Thanks to these unique radiating properties, the radio collects and propagates significantly less noise in comparison to mainstream sector antennas. Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas have naturally suppressed side lobes to the level that is practically invisible for radios operating in unlicensed bands. With virtually zero side lobes, Symmetrical Horn WB antennas provide excellent SNR which is essential to achieving high throughput.

Coverage Without Null

Mainstream sector antennas have a radiation pattern that is very wide in azimuth cut but very narrow in elevation cut. If an AP is placed too high, the customers that are too close will suffer from low AP signal. Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas provide equal elevation and azimuth beam width, which results in a different shape of the coverage pattern, that can be further improved by antenna down tilt. This is beneficial in scenarios where CPEs are close to an elevated AP, or in deployments in mountain areas.

Breakthrough Scalability

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas offer breakthrough scalability of wireless systems. Unique beam performance and great co-location characteristics allow for a higher density of sectors than a traditional sector technology.

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas come with precise radiation angles, including 30, 60 and 90 degrees, complementing Asymmetrical Horns and UltraHorn for a wide range of models suitable for any situation.

Cross-Platform Compatibility in 5 and 6 GHz

Symmetrical Horn WB Antennas can be used with any radio with RF elements TwistPort^TM 5 GHz or 6 GHz male interface, as well as with a variety of third-party radios connected through a 5 GHz or 6 GHz TwistPort^TM Adaptor (TPA).
