5 + 6 GHz Wideband Antennas for Scalable FWA Connectivity

With global adoption of 6 GHz unlicensed band for outdoor installations, operators increasingly require antennas that support both 5 GHz and 6 GHz unlicensed bands operation without hardware replacement. RF elements® Wideband Antennas deliver exactly that - engineered for extended frequency coverage with controlled radiation and real-world performance.

Why Wideband?

Antennas target certain frequency bands following user and regulatory requirements and practical limitations. When networks expand into new spectrum - such as 5 GHz evolving into 5 + 6 GHz - antennas typically require replacement, adding cost and complexity.

RF elements Wideband Antennas simplify this by enabling 5 GHz deployments today and expansion into 6 GHz tomorrow. They simplify inventory management and lower long-term upgrade costs.

Wideband capability means one antenna covers more spectrum. In case of RF elements you can add the following: without compromise.

Stable Wideband Beam Performance

Wideband performance is meaningful only if radiation characteristics remain consistent across the band. In terms of physics, narrowing the band provides practical advantages for radio and antenna designers, and widening the band brings substantial challenges for hardware designers. This is why RF elements wideband antennas shine.

RF elements wideband antennas maintain stable gain across 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands which is very difficult task to achieve. Controlled, predictable beam shapes with naturally attenuated side lobes guarantee excellent performance and strong co-location capability.

This results in improved Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and better link stability especially in dense WISP deployments where interference management is key.

Wideband Product Lineup

RF elements offers Wideband antennas designed for both sector coverage and high-capacity links:

RF elements Wideband antennas includes following product types and models:

Wideband Asymmetrical Horn Antennas - Sector Antennas with Asymmetrical Beam

AH45WB - wideband asymmetrical 45° beam (45° Azimuth / 20° Elevation) with 19 dBi gain
AH60WB - wideband asymmetrical 60° beam (60° Azimuth / 25° Elevation) with 16 dBi gain
AH90WB - wideband symmetrical 90° beam (90° Azimuth / 25° Elevation) with 15 dBi gain

Asymmetrical Horns provide beams which are wide in azimuth and narrower in elevation. Deployment scenarios include wide horizontal coverage, tower mounted APs and wide area sectors with excellent sidelobe control.

Wideband Symmetrical Horn Antennas - Sector Antennas with Symmetrical Beam

SH20WB - wideband symmetrical 20° beam (20° Azimuth / 20° Elevation) with 21-23dBi gain
SH30WB - wideband symmetrical 30° beam (30° Azimuth / 30° Elevation) with 18 dBi gain
SH60WB - wideband symmetrical 60° beam (60° Azimuth / 60° Elevation) with 13 dBi gain
SH90WB - wideband symmetrical 90° beam (90° Azimuth / 90° Elevation) with 10 dBi gain

These antennas provide excellent performance for clean, controlled cells in dense, heavily co-located deployments. Symmetrical beam keeps energy tightly controlled and provides excellent interference rejection across 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands.

Wideband 4×4 Asymmetrical Horn Antennas

For high capacity deployments with MIMO AP radios and broader coverage options:

4×4 AH60WB - 4×4 asymmetrical wideband horn antenna (60°)
4×4 AH90WB - 4×4 asymmetrical wideband horn antenna (90°)

The 4×4 asymmetrical horn series provides 4 chains for spatial diversity, higher throughput potential, and improved performance with modern 4×4 radios in PtMP networks. It can also be used as a great space saving solution for dual carrier or dual band deployments.
