PCTel 13-17 dBi Adjustable Sector Panel Antenna, 2.4 GHz Frequency band, 45, 60, 90 or 120 Degree Horizontal Plane Beamwidth |
The MSP series sector panel covers the 2.4 GHz ISM band and provides field adjustable horizontal beamwidths of 45є, 60є, 90є or 120є. This unique design allows a system installer to stock a single antenna and field adjust it to the desired beamwidth, making it useful for wireless broadband applications where coverage of a geographical sector is desired. The panel can also be ordered with fixed beamwidths. This line also includes a compact 90° sector model that measures less than 8 inches long, for installations where space is very limited. |
In many applications, sector panels are used to provide omnidirectional coverage by using, for example, three radios and three 120є sector antennas to provide 360є coverage. This results in a stronger and more focused signal than that of a single omnidirectional antenna. It also provides a more robust design. The MSP24013MB features industry leading front-to-back ratios of more than 42 dB at 45є, 60є and 90є and over 32 dB at 120є with excellent cross pole discrimination.
Features:
- Adjustable multiple beamwidth sectors. A single antenna can be utilized to cover several geographical sectors.
- Three sectors with three data radios can be installed as an array for omnidirectional coverage. Provides a stronger, more focused signal than that of a standard omnidirectional antenna.
- Industry leading front-to-back ratios. Ensures that the radiated energy is focused towards its target, and not to the back or sides of the antenna.
