Urban and rural areas – Poor data signal reception (indoor or outdoor)
Increase system transmission reliability
Network operator flexibility – as the antennas is wide-band, a new antenna is not needed per network operator
Works on most networks
Usage
The LPDA7040-11-0.3NF is a high-performance wide band log periodic antenna designed to operate in the LTE bands from 698 to 4000MHz.
This wide-band design eliminates the need to purchase different antennas for each frequency.
This simplifies installations since the same antenna can be used for a wide array of wireless applications where wide coverage is desired.
The brass & aluminum internal components of this antenna are enclosed within a UV-stable white ABS radome for all-weather operation and is supplied with a tilt and swivel mast mount kit.
Two antennas can be installed to form a ±45 degree MIMO antenna solution.
Better for hilly areas
Lower gain Yagi antennas are ideal for areas where hills are very close to your location (within about 2km)
Hills create a multi-path environment – transmissions that bounce off trees or terrain at an acute angle cause signal echos
Having travelled a further distance than a straight line transmission these signals are delayed, and to a simple receiver would be nothing more than interference
However, thanks to clever technology used in cellular communications, multi-path signals can recovered by your modem’s RAKE combiner (or with cyclic prefix for OFDMA based systems)
A RAKE receiver consists of a series of sub-radios which read the incoming signal at different delay periods (typically one chip in WCDMA) and then combined to result in a higher quality signal
This antenna rests at ground potential, providing improved lightning protection and reduced precipitation static noise
Termination is via your choice of an ‘N’ female coaxial connector fitted to a short LMR195 cable tail
We recommend the use of LMR400 grade cable when using this antenna on 4G due to it’s high frequency
4G technology employs MIMO technology, which requires two antennas to function at full capacity – when receiving a 4G signal greater than two bars consider purchasing two antennas to maximise speed. Only one antenna is used on 3G.
