Product Information
RF Elements AS-5-20
Array Sector 5150 - 5850 MHz 20 dBi Sector Antenna with Carrier Class Performance
RF elements® Array Sector antennas provide exceptional RF performance, colocation capability, ease of installation, and cost efficiency. The antennas feature our patented BackShield™, a frequency selective surface that attenuates the side lobes in the azimuth plane and back radiation, integrated directly in the antenna body.
Array Sector 5-20 operates in extremely wide frequency band, has balanced gain in both polarizations, and offers unmatched main lobe stability for superior coverage performance.
Gain stability across spectrum
RF elements® Array Sector Antennas have optimized gain performance in the whole useful bandwidth. Thanks to the constant gain, the antennas deliver excellent performance regardless which channel is used.
Wide Band Performance
Array Sector Antennas operate in the frequency range 5150-5850MHz. The 700MHz wide working spectrum covers U-NII-1 to U-NII-3 bands.
BackShieldTM for cluster deployments
Array Sector Antennas have integrated BackShieldTM - patented frequency-selective surfaces attenuating azimuthal side lobes and back radiation significantly improving the co-location capability of Array Sector Antennas.
Light & Compact
Array Sector Antennas are made of high grade aluminium that makes them compact, light, and extremely durable.
Stable Gain Across The Band
The gain of Array Sector antennas remains very stable across an ultra-wide range of frequencies 5150-5850 MHz. VSWR values are excellent across the whole useful spectrum for maximum power delivered from the radio to the antenna.
Optimized For Co-Location
Array Sector Antennas feature BackShieldTM, our patented structure that effectively mitigates sidelobes in azimuthal plane and parasitic back radiation. BackshieldTM significantly improves co-location capability in dense cluster deployments.
BackShieldTM
BackShieldTM is our patented frequency-selective surface that effectively attenuates back radiation and the side lobes in the azimuthal plane. BackShieldTM is integrated into the antenna structure so there is no need for aftermarket accessory shields.
Wide Platform Compatibility
Array Sector Antennas are compatible with all major radios with coaxial connectors (check datasheet for complete list). Array Sector Antennas also feature removable cover protecting the SMA connectors, another feature introduced by RF elements® that became an industry standard.
New Antenna Bracket
Array Sector Antennas feature an innovative mounting system composed of minimum parts for quick & easy assembly, installation, and alignment. Stainless steel hardware has black colored anti-friction surface coating to prevent seizing.
Durable Build
Solid extruded aluminium body enables Array Sector Antennas endure any weather conditions. We use materials of highest quality: extruded and stamped aluminium, surface coated stainless steel, UV resistant ABS plastic & high density polyethylene.
Hardware with Anti-Seize Coating
The Array Sector Antennas have hardware with black-colored anti-friction surface treatment using polymer-based tribological dry coating with sub-microscopic lubricant particles providing effective protection from seizing.
