The 2PA65R-K8A from CCI is a two-port antenna, with two wide low-band ports that operate from 698 to 960 MHz. The antenna provides the capability to deploy 2x2 Multiple-input Multiple-output in the low band. This 45° dual-linear polarized antenna provides a gain of up to 16.6 dBi and a VSWR of less than 1.5:1. It has an azimuth beamwidth (-3 dB) of up to 75°, an elevation beamwidth (-3 dB) from 7.3° to 9.2° and an electrical downtilt range from 0° to 10°.
The antenna has elevation sidelobes (1st upper) of less than -20 dB, a front-to-back ratio of more than 28 dB (at 180°), and a passive intermodulation (2x20 W) of less than -153 dBc. It has a cross-polar discrimination of more than 22 dB (at peak) and a cross-polar port-to-port isolation of more than 25 dB.
With this antenna, wireless providers can connect multiple platforms to a single antenna, reducing tower load, lease expense, deployment time, and installation costs. It is available in a pole-mounted housing that measures 2439 x 297 x 211 mm and has 4.3-10 (female) connectors.
