Antenna System
The following antennas are designed specifically for AirHarmony-1000 deployments. Externally
mounted antennas are available for use as well (pending), but are specified separately.
Note: For a list of compatible external antennas, please contact your nearest Airspan sales
representative.
Switched Beam Antenna
The Switched Beam antenna variant includes a steerable antenna mounted on the unit which
provides four direction beams and an omni-directional pattern covering 360 in azimuth. Beam
selection is achieved via a digital control interface. The antenna is a multi-element cross polarized
(dual slant) design which can be used in directional or Omni modes of operation. The GPS antenna is
incorporated in the Switched Beam antenna unit.
Scenario #1 - The Switched Beam antenna is mounted directly on the unit and connected via its two
RF ports and the control port.
Scenario #2 - The Switched Beam antenna is mounted on the pole above the unit connected via its
two RF ports and the control port.
