1 Antenna Description
1 Antenna No. –
2 Antenna Fundamentals
● Omnidirectional antenna
● Directional antenna
Related Concepts
● Azimuth angle: defined by a horizontal angle measured clockwise from north.
● Downtilt antenna: formed between an antenna and the horizontal plane.
● Lobe angle: angle between the points in the main lobe that are down from
the maximum gain by 3 dB. For details, see 2.5 Beamwidth.
● Antenna gain: ratio of the power density in a given direction to the power
density of a reference antenna (using an ideal radiation source) in the same
direction. For details, see 2.3 Antenna Gain.
Physically, a gain is the ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of
the same system. If the transmit antenna is an ideal undirectional source, the
input power should be 100 W. If the transmit antenna is a directional antenna
with a gain of 13 dB (20 times), only 5 W (100/20) of input power is required.
That is, an antenna's gain is the amplifier of input power of the undirectional ideal
radiation source.
Antenna gain can be used to measure the capability of an antenna to receive and
send signals in a specified direction, which is one of the most important
parameters to consider when selecting an antenna. The antenna gain is related to
the antenna radiation pattern. If the main lobe is narrow, the side lobe is small
and the gain is high. Figure 2-2 shows the relationship between the main lobe
width and antenna gain.
Under the same condition, a higher antenna gain indicates a longer transmission
distance. In practice, select a proper antenna gain to ensure that beamwidth
matches the target coverage area. If the coverage area is small, select a low-gain
antenna with a wide vertical lobe.
Figure 2-2 Relationship between the main lobe width and antenna gain
Related Concepts
● dBd: unit for measuring the balanced dipole's gain.
● dBi: unit for measuring the radiation source antenna's gain, with equal signal
radiation in all directions. The relationship between dBi and dBd is as follows:
dBi = dBd + 2.15.
● Lobe angle: defined as the angle between the points in the main lobe that are
down from the maximum gain by 3 dB. For details, see 2.5 Beamwidth.
● Ideal radiation source: ideal isotropic antenna, that is, a simple point-shaped
radiation source that provides the same radiation performance in all
directions.
Formula
Factor
● Thermal noise power within the bandwidth range
● Noise factor (NF)
● Minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) required for decoding signals
Formula
S = 10lg(kTB) + NF + SNR
● S: receiver sensitivity, in dBm. A smaller value indicates better performance of
the receiver. A larger value indicates lower performance of the receiver.
● k: Boltzmann constant, in J/K.
● T: absolute temperature, in K. As the temperature increases, receiver
sensitivity becomes larger, degrading receiver performance. Therefore, lower
the ambient temperature as much as possible.
● B: signal bandwidth, in Hz. Higher signal bandwidth represents a larger NF,
higher receiver sensitivity, and therefore lower receiver performance.
● kTB: thermal noise power within the bandwidth range, in Watts.
● NF: noise factor, in dB.
● SNR: signal-to-noise ratio required for decoding signals, in dB. A small value
of the minimum SNR can enhance receiver performance. The minimum SNR is
related to the STA moving speed, wireless environment, and required
communication quality. Minimum SNR requirements are different for wireless
standards and services of the same wireless standard.
Receiver sensitivity of a common 802.11g product is -85 dBm. Wireless products
on the market have -105 dBm receiver sensitivity. Professional receivers provide up
to -120 dBm receiver sensitivity. Receiver sensitivity doubles every time the
transmit power increases by 3 dB. In most cases, the receiver sensitivity value
marked on Wi-Fi devices, such as -83 dBm, is a measurement of receiver sensitivity
at a rate of 11 Mbit/s and a bit error rate (BER) of 10E-5 (99.999%).
STAs have lower receiver sensitivity than APs. Therefore, the outdoor coverage
distance is restricted by the STA uplink. If an AP transmits signals at full power,
users may find strong signal strength on STAs but Internet access experience is
poor. To prevent such an issue, reduce the transmit power of the AP to slightly
higher than the receiver sensitivity of the STAs, so that the uplink and downlink of
the STAs have a similar modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level after the link
power budget is completed.
2.5 Beamwidth
Beamwidth is the angular separation between the points in the main lobe that are
down from the maximum gain by 3 dB. The angle is called the lobe angle. An
antenna has horizontal beamwidth and vertical beamwidth, forming a horizontal
lobe angle and a vertical lobe angle, respectively. Beamwidth is a key counter for
directional antennas.
Figure 2-3 shows the radiation pattern of a directional antenna. The signal
strength gradually increases from the blue area to the red area. Figure 2-4 shows
the horizontal and vertical patterns, and beamwidth.
When the beamwidth is narrow, the radiation distance is long and the anti-
interference capability is strong.
● When deploying antennas, note that side lobes interfere with peripheral
residential areas. In most cases, main lobe radiation needs to be enhanced,
and side lobe radiation needs to be suppressed. However, in the areas near
the antennas, side lobes are needed to enlarge the coverage distance.
● H-plane half-power beamwidth determines the beamwidth of an antenna in
the horizontal plane. When beamwidth is wide, good signal coverage is
available at the sector boundary. However, when the downtilt angle becomes
larger, beam distortion is more likely to occur, leading to overshoot coverage.
On the contrary, when beamwidth is narrow, signal coverage is poor at the
sector boundary. Increasing the downtilt angle can resolve this issue to a
certain degree, which can prevent overshoot coverage. Base stations in the
downtown are deployed at short intervals and have antennas with large
downtilt angles installed. In this case, antennas with small H-plane half-
power beamwidth are recommended. In the suburbs, antennas with large H-
plane half-power beamwidth are recommended.
● V-plane half-power beamwidth determines the beamwidth of an antenna in
the vertical plane. When beamwidth is narrow, signals that deviate from the
main beam attenuate fast. In this case, it is easier to control the coverage by
adjusting the downtilt angle, therefore improving coverage quality for cells.
Related Concepts
● Main lobe: Antennas have various radiation patterns. Some of them look like
petals. The one with the strongest radiation "sticks out". It is the main lobe.
● Side lobe: lobes other than the main lobe on a radiation pattern.
● 10 dB beamwidth: angle between the points in the main lobe that are down
from the maximum gain by 10 dB (power density reduced to one tenth).

● Do not install antennas in bad weather conditions, for example, during rain,
snow, or strong winds.
NOTICE
To prevent water in the antenna from degrading the signal quality, keep the
antenna vertical and do not allow the condensation drain hole to clog.
2. Align the clamp with the top surface of the pole, as shown in Figure 7-6.
3. Fasten all nuts, as shown in Figure 7-7. The recommended torque is 40 N·m
for M10 nuts.
Precautions
Take note of the following points when installing an outdoor omnidirectional
antenna:
1. After the installation is complete, the antenna must be high enough to satisfy
signal coverage demands, and the top of the antenna must not exceed the
45-degree protection range of the lightning rod.
2. Do not weld a lightning rod directly to the omnidirectional antenna pole, as
there should be no metal objects within 1 m of an omnidirectional antenna.
Instead, install an independent lightning rod between two omnidirectional
antenna poles. Adjust the height of the lightning rod to ensure that the
antennas are covered in the protection angle.
3. It is recommended that the distance between two omnidirectional antennas
be at least 0.5 m.
Figure 7-8 shows installation of an outdoor omnidirectional antenna.
If antennas are installed on a pole made of metal, such as steel, you do not need to install
a lightning rod, as shown on the right in Figure 7-8.
● Bend radius requirements: RG-8U RF cable: > 150 mm; 1/2" RF cable: > 50
mm; 7/8" RF cable: > 250 mm. One inch (1") equals 25.4 mm.
RF Cable Connections
1. Antenna interfaces of Huawei outdoor APs provide a 5 kA surge protection
capability. In general, no additional surge protective device needs to be
installed, and the RF cables are directly connected to the antenna interfaces.
Outdoor APs support built-in surge protection on all interfaces, but the surge
protection works only when the outdoor APs are grounded.
2. If a higher surge protection capability is required, you need to purchase a
surge protective device separately. When installing the surge protective device,
ensure that it is connected to a ground cable.
Connecting the type-N male coaxial connector to the RG-8U feeder cable
1. Peel the cable.
2. Install accessories, such as the nut.
3. Install the connector body.
4. Tighten the connector on the cable.

Antenna Pattern
Figure 8-2 shows radiation patterns of the 27010219 directional antenna in the
horizontal and vertical directions.
● Install the antenna upright and place one side of the RF cable connector
towards the ground.
● When installing single-polarized antennas, keep the distance between two
antennas to within 30 cm to 50 cm.
● Install the antenna away from metal obstructions, such as air conditioners or
heating pipes. Do not install the antenna on a wire mesh.
● Wall materials and thickness determine the number of walls that radio signals
can pass through. Factor that into antenna selection.
● Install lightning rods for outdoor antennas to prevent lightning strikes. For
details on how to install a lightning rod, see section "Antenna Installation."
● Ensure that no obstacle exists in the Fresnel zone in bridging scenarios. That
is, the antenna height must be larger than the sum of the radius of the first
Fresnel zone and obstacle height.
As shown in the figure, the Fresnel zone refers to the ellipsoid. Obstacles in
the zone will adversely affect signal transmissions. If not blocked, radio
signals can travel in an approximate free space.
Fresnel zones differ depending on the Fresnel zone radius. In a free space, radio
signals are mainly transmitted between antennas in the first Fresnel zone. In
normal cases, the Fresnel zone refers to the first Fresnel zone.
The radius of the first Fresnel zone is calculated and related parameters are
described as follows:

is, the antenna height must be larger than the sum of the radius of the first
Fresnel zone and obstacle height.
As shown in the figure, the Fresnel zone refers to the ellipsoid. Obstacles in
the zone will adversely affect signal transmissions. If not blocked, radio
signals can travel in an approximate free space.
Fresnel zones differ depending on the Fresnel zone radius. In a free space, radio
signals are mainly transmitted between antennas in the first Fresnel zone. In
normal cases, the Fresnel zone refers to the first Fresnel zone.
The radius of the first Fresnel zone is calculated and related parameters are
described as follows:

– Method 2: Use the inclinometer to determine the antenna angle. Then,
move the antenna to adjust its angle until the bead in the inclinometer is
at the middle. This method provides precise measurements.
If the required downtilt angle is fixed, you can thread the U-type bolt through the
fixing hole and graduated bracket and then tighten the nuts. The pole must be
kept vertical.

NOTICE
● To prevent water in the antenna from degrading the signal quality, keep the
antenna vertical and do not allow the condensation drain hole to clog.
● To achieve the optimal coverage effect, it is recommended that you install the
omnidirectional antenna three to five meters above ground.
Precautions
Take note of the following points when installing an outdoor omnidirectional
antenna:
1. After the installation is complete, the antenna must be high enough to satisfy
signal coverage demands, and the top of the antenna must not exceed the
45-degree protection range of the lightning rod.
2. Do not weld a lightning rod directly to the omnidirectional antenna pole, as
there should be no metal objects within 1 m of an omnidirectional antenna.
Instead, install an independent lightning rod between two omnidirectional
antenna poles. Adjust the height of the lightning rod to ensure that the
antennas are covered in the protection angle.
3. It is recommended that the distance between two omnidirectional antennas
be at least 0.5 m.
If antennas are installed on a pole made of metal, such as steel, you do not need to install
a lightning rod, as shown on the right in Figure 18-4.

AP9132DN ● When the antenna transmits 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals
simultaneously on a radio interface, two ports on the
antenna are connected to radio interfaces 2.4G/5G-B and
2.4G/5G-C of the AP respectively, and an RF load should be
connected to radio interface 2.4G/5G-A of the AP.
● When the antenna transmits only 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signals
on a radio interface, two ports on the antenna are connected
to radio interfaces 2.4G-A and 2.4G-B of the AP, and an RF
load should be connected to radio interface 2.4G-C of the AP
to transmit 2.4 GHz signals.

The requirements on connections between the antenna and the AP's radio
interfaces are as follows:
● Feeders of the same antenna must be connected to radio interfaces of the
corresponding frequency bands on the same AP.
● Feeder ports whose polarization directions are +45° and -45° on an antenna
are connected to radio interfaces A and B of an AP respectively, and the
feeder port whose polarization direction is 90° is connected to radio interface
C of the AP.
Take the AP9132DN as an example. The following figure shows the RF cable
connection on the AP9132DN.

● The gains and lobe widths in this document are typical values. The actual values are
within a range. For specifications, see the corresponding data sheets.
● The coverage distance is a reference value in certain conditions. Plan an appropriate
distance value according to planning experience, local standards, and onsite
environments.
● There may be differences in the standards of different countries, so the mapping
between antennas and APs shall comply with local standards. For details, refer to device
access authentication information.
● The coverage distance is subject to the following constraints:
● The default AP transmit power is 15 dBm.
● The default STA type is mobile phone, and no obstacle exists.
● 2.4 GHz: The uplink and downlink RSSIs are greater than or equal to -70 dBm.
For any questions about the parameters above, contact Huawei technical support.
Antenna Pattern
Figure 34-2 shows radiation patterns of the 27012544 antenna in the horizontal
and vertical directions.
● Install the antenna upright and place one side of the RF cable connector
towards the ground.
● When installing single-polarized antennas, keep the distance between two
antennas to within 30 cm to 50 cm.
● Install the antenna away from metal obstructions, such as air conditioners or
heating pipes. Do not install the antenna on a wire mesh.
● Wall materials and thickness determine the number of walls that radio signals
can pass through. Factor that into antenna selection.
● Install lightning rods for outdoor antennas to prevent lightning strikes. For
details on how to install a lightning rod, see section "Antenna Installation."
● Ensure that no obstacle exists in the Fresnel zone in bridging scenarios. That
is, the antenna height must be larger than the sum of the radius of the first
Fresnel zone and obstacle height.
As shown in the figure, the Fresnel zone refers to the ellipsoid. Obstacles in
the zone will adversely affect signal transmissions. If not blocked, radio
signals can travel in an approximate free space.
Fresnel zones differ depending on the Fresnel zone radius. In a free space, radio
signals are mainly transmitted between antennas in the first Fresnel zone. In
normal cases, the Fresnel zone refers to the first Fresnel zone.
The radius of the first Fresnel zone is calculated and related parameters are
described as follows:
With 5 GHz signals as an example, Table 34-2 lists the radius of the first Fresnel
zone in different backhaul distances.

Take note of the following points when installing an outdoor directional antenna:
Figure 34-4 illustrates how an outdoor directional antenna and a pole are
installed.
The following figure shows the protection area of a lightning rod. The entire
antenna must be within the protection area.
If antennas are installed on a pole made of metal, such as steel, you do not need to install
a lightning rod, as shown on the right in the preceding figure.
RF Cable Connections
1. Antenna interfaces of Huawei outdoor APs provide a 5 kA surge protection
capability. In general, no additional surge protective device needs to be
installed, and the RF cables are directly connected to the antenna interfaces.
Outdoor APs support built-in surge protection on all interfaces, but the surge
protection works only when the outdoor APs are grounded.
2. If a higher surge protection capability is required, you need to purchase a
surge protective device separately. When installing the surge protective device,
ensure that it is connected to a ground cable.
