This whitepaper addresses the performance criteria of base station antennas, by making recommendations on standards for electrical and mechanical parameters, by providing guidance on measurement and calculation practices in performance validation and production, and by recommending methods for electronic data exchange.What are base station active antenna system standards?Our latest “Recommendation on Base Station Active Antenna System Standards” provides the industry with an updated set of parameter definitions, measurement methodologies and reporting processes. This enables a uniform way to describe the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the network side of the radio link (the “base station antenna”).
What is the operating environment of a base station antenna?The operating environment of base station antennas is classified as remote, stationary, outdoor, uncontrolled and not weather-protected. The electromagnetic environment includes close proximity to intentionally radiating devices and installation on structures prone to lightning strikes.
Why do we need active base station antennas?By using such a common approach describing active base station antennas, mobile networks can be better and more cost-effectively planned, engineered, and operated to ensure the high-quality mobile service that users, businesses and industry demand.
Can BSA specifications be transferred from vendor to operator?A format for the electronic transfer of BSA specifications from vendor to operator. The scope of this paper is limited to passive base station antennas. Even though antennas will not be categorized in performance-classes, this paper will address antennas built for different purposes.
What is a BSA beam parameter?This beam parameter indicates the sector coverage provided by a BSA. BSAs are typically referred to by their nominal azimuth beamwidth, for example, a 65° BSA. Nominal requirements are usually but not limited to, 90° or 65° for 3 sector cell sites, and 45° or 33° for 6 sector sites.
What is a “minimum” specification for a parameter?A “minimum” specification for a parameter is defined when the above mentioned dataset is mostly “above” a specified value: this does not strictly mean that the values must be higher than it, since the physical meaning of the parameter and its associated sign play an important role in the meaning of “above�
