Description
The CSA Series arrays are based on the popular OA Series dipole array antennas. Supplied in “kit” form these antennas are delivered in flat-pack packaging to minimize freight and warehousing issues and allow for simplified assembly at time of installation. The CSA Series arrays have approximately 60 degrees horizontal beamwidth and offer 7 or 9dBd in gain. The use of the corner screen reflector boosts the front-to-back ratio considerably allowing for tailoring antenna patterns for frequency re-use in extended networks. With all-welded construction and superior internal harness construction, the antennas provide not only excellent radiation characteristics but also defined, high levels of intermodulation and noise suppression. IM performance is -140dBc based on a two-carrier test. The entire array rests at ground potential and offers the ultimate in lightning-resistant antennas. Features: Offset (cardioid) pattern with 60 Degree nominal Horizontal Beamwidth High front to back ratio to allow frequency re-use by tailoring coverage areas Hermetically sealed internal PTFE based phasing harness capable of 750W continuous operation Shipped unassembled for ease of handling, easily assembled on-site Direct DC grounded for lightning protection and reduction of precipitation static noise Industry-leading dual sectioned antenna PIM rating (-140dBc)providing low IM and low noise characteristics for optimum performance The screen can be purchased to retrofit to an existing OA series array or side mount dipole.
