Galtronics USA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Baylin Technologies, introduced a new series of Next Generation Multibeam Directional Panel Antennas for 4G and 5G systems. The new Galtronics high gain multibeam antennas GP5124-07276, and GP5124-07277 both offer 6 beams (24 ports total), with each beam containing 4×4 MIMO port clusters to support all major global wireless bands from 1695-2360 MHz (7277) and 1695-2690 MHz (7276), and are intended for Stadium/Venue/Special Events and Base Station Antenna applications.
The Galtronics patent pending beam stabilizing technology has overcome the legacy beam squint issue which has been a prevelant issue with traditional multibeam panel products of the past. For example, it would not be uncommon to see 10 degrees (or more) of azimuth beam location difference between uplink and downlink frequencies, typical of an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) system. This creates up to 15 dB of gain mismatch between uplink and downlink which would significantly degrade coverage and capacity. Galtronics multibeam antennas have exactly the same beam locations in uplink and downlink. At the same time, Galtronics has included market leading features such as higher return loss, port to port isolation, and patent pending mechnical robustness features.
Randy Dewey, President and CEO of Baylin, said that the Galtronics multibeam solutions are designed to deliver superior performance in a smaller package and at a more affordable cost than the traditional alternative currently in the market.
Already successfully deployed at one of the busiest airports in the US by a Tier 1 carrier, the new Galtronics multibeam antennas offer tight intrabeam beam control of 10° horizontal and 13.5° vertical (-3 dB) average. The antennas also offer 15.5 dB minimum return loss (up to 18.5 dB minimum in select sub-bands), higher Interbeam (co-pol) isolation compared to traditional panels of 14.5 dB minimum (up to 22 dB minimum in select sub-bands), with intrabeam isolation (within 4×4 beam cluster) of 27 dB minimum (up to 30 dB minimum in select sub-bands). Like all Galtronics products, passive intermodulation is 100% measured, specified at -153 dBc maximum in all operating sub-bands.
Recognizing that many multibeam antennas are deployed for limited timeframes at concerts or special/seasonal events, Galtronics has designed patent pending robustness features into these multi-beam antennas to prevent damage during repetitive handling, and a heavy-duty transit case is provided to prevent damage during transport from one deployment to the next.
"The Galtronics 6-beam, 4X4 MIMO, high gain base station antenna provides peak performance and peak capacity which improves network performance and enhances the end user experience", explained Minya Gavrilovic, President & CTO of Galtronics USA. "These multibeam base station antennas deliver significant increases in LTE and 5G broadband coverage for high-capacity venues and special event applications as well as in high density urban environments."
