If you’re looking for a comprehensive one-stop supplier for antenna supply lines for cell sites, HUBER+SUHNER is a wireless connectivity company that you must check out.
Touting their “complete updated passive low PIM components for existing or 4th generation LTE (News - Alert) applications,” company officials recently outlined in thumbnail sketches some of their primary offerings.
And HUBER+SUHNER does have quite a wide array of robust products. In fact, the Swiss company released its “Wireless Infrastructure Catalog 2012” in late November, reporting proudly that, as big as customer demand was for the 2011 version; they needed to reprint it twice “to cover entire the demand.”
Here’s a rundown of some of their most popular items:
- QUICK-FIT Coaxial Connectors
Along with having worldwide approval, these N and 7/16 connectors are for foam dielectric corrugated copper tube cables. What’s good about this product is they give you a simplified and economic approach to cable preparation and assembly, since they comply with the specs of transceivers such as base stations for mobile communication infrastructure networks.
- LISCA Jumpers. LISCA (Low Loss and Low Intermodulation Soldered Corrugated Cable Assembly)
Cable assemblies are used for apps with low VSWR and low attenuation combined with low intermodulation. The advantage here is that you get better performance by using the corrugated cables with low intermodulation connectors and a controlled assembly process.
These low loss reactive splitters are for the distribution of RF signals to radio transceiver antenna systems and radiating cables. The way HUBER+SUHNER officials describe them is where the RF power is equally distributed to all outputs with no deterioration of amplitude or loss of phase balance. There are multiband units to simplify logistics for OEMs and multi-system operators as well.
These innovative antennas allow you to gain access to accurate timing, phase and frequency synchronization. With these antennas, handover, TDD scheduling, interference cancellation and terminal location tracking are based on GPS or Glonass time reference, as well as for the synchronization of mobile communication base stations and the support of position detection for mobile terminal equipment..
The great value of this is that due to the often exposed position of the antennas, you don’t need separate installation of an external EMP protection.
