Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of mobile communication outdoor distribution antenna, be specifically related to a high-gain two-beam antenna, cover for outdoor mobile communication, the invention belongs to the communications field.
Background technology
Along with the increase at full speed of mobile communication subscriber, outdoor communication network regional area faces high traffic, the pressure of high load capacity. In order to strengthen antenna system capacity, helping operator to extricate oneself from a predicament, optimize existing network, company developed new product two-beam antenna both at home and abroad in recent years, squeezed into the market as new high-end antenna product.
Two-beam antenna is also called splitting antenna, it is in an antenna house entity, be integrated with two dual polarized antennas, it adopts beamforming technique, compared to common double poliarizing antenna, two-beam antenna gain declines faster, in two-beam antenna, the overlapping region between two sectors is less, advantageously reduces soft handover and More Soft Handoff.
