StarterHorn™ A45° USMA
Cost effective horn sector antenna with excellent noise rejection.
StarterHorn™ Sector Antenna
STH-A45-USMA is a scalar horn antenna with a asymmetrical radiation pattern. STH-A45-USMA has both waveguide and RP-SMA interface for easy connectivity. The StarterHorn™ A45 USMA is a convenient start for customers new to horn antenna technology requesting low initial investment.
Excellent Beam Performance
The StarterHorn™ A45 USMA has unique radiation pattern. The main beam is asymmetrical, with elliptical cross-section: measured at -6dB, the azimuth beam width is 45° and elevation beam width is 30°.
Excellent Noise Immunity
Noise in unlicensed 5 GHz wireless networks is caused by the side lobes of widely used traditional patch array antennas. The StarterHorn™ A45 USMA has zero side lobes, ensuring efficient use of the spectrum. As a result, your wireless network does not suffer from high interference.
High Beam Efficiency
Beam Efficiency (BE) is a side lobes measure with values from 0 to 100%. The higher the BE, the less side lobes an antenna has. StarterHorn™ A45° USMA has BE of 90 %, suppressing vast majority of interference and providing game changing throughput increase. For reference, BE of widely used patch array sector antennas rarely exceeds 58%!
Frequency Independent Beam Width and Gain
The shape of the main lobe and the gain of StarterHorn™ A45 USMA do not change with frequency. Antenna performance is rock solid stable over a wide span of frequencies between U-NII-1 to U-NII-5 bands. This is extremely important for WISPs planning their network deployments, as they can rely on antenna performance whenever changing a channel.
Powerful Co-Location Ability
StarterHorn™ A45 USMA delivers excellent performance in dense co-location deployments. You can split poorly performing 90° sector into two 45° sectors with excellent performance using StarterHorn™ A45 sector antennas and offer higher throughput packages or connect more customers.
