Antenna Evolution: Meeting the demand for LTE Small Cell & DAS networks
Implementations of Small Cell and DAS systems have many challenges; not the least of which is the selection and placement of the antenna elements. Since these systems deploy antennas close to the users, additional municipal and building owner restrictions may be enforced. The physical space provided for antenna installation is often limited and concealed when possible. Further, the input power is considerably less than for macro networks making PIM less of a concern than for outdoor networks. These factors make designing Small Cell and DAS systems significantly different from designing macro networks. In this webinar, these differences will be presented in addition to best known design practices.
