RF Elements Symmetrical Horn Sector Antenna 60° 5180–6400 MHz, 2x N-Female

RF elements Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen 2 antennas are designed for directional wireless coverage in networks where interference control and precise signal distribution are important. The series includes five models, HG3-CC-S30, HG3-CC-S60, HG3-CC-S70, HG3-CC-S80, and HG3-CC-S90, all operating across the 5180–6400 MHz frequency range. Each antenna uses a scalar horn design that produces a symmetrical main beam, with identical beamwidth in the horizontal and vertical planes. This radiation pattern provides a consistent angular coverage shape in both directions, distinguishing the series from antennas with different horizontal and vertical beamwidths.

A defining characteristic of these antennas is their exceptionally low sidelobe radiation, which helps suppress interference outside the main coverage area. This is particularly valuable in high-density access point clusters and installations where multiple radios operate close to one another. The symmetrical radiation pattern also makes the antennas well suited to serving clients located near the installation site, where null zones can create coverage challenges. By combining a symmetrical main beam with strong sidelobe suppression, the HG3-CC Gen 2 series addresses both coverage distribution and interference management in demanding wireless installations.

The HG3-CC Gen 2 series offers five different beamwidth options, allowing installers to select an antenna according to the required coverage area. The models have symmetrical beamwidths of 30°, 60°, 70°, 80°, and 90° at the −6 dB level, with the same angle maintained in both horizontal and vertical planes. The narrower-beam HG3-CC-S30 concentrates its radiation within a more restricted angular area, while the wider-beam models cover progressively broader sectors. This range of radiation patterns makes it possible to choose an antenna based on the desired coverage geometry rather than using the same beamwidth for every installation.

Antenna gain varies across the series, from 18.4 dBi for the HG3-CC-S30 to 9.6 dBi for the HG3-CC-S90. The intermediate models provide different combinations of gain and beamwidth, enabling selection based on the intended coverage pattern. All five antennas use dual linear horizontal and vertical polarization and have two N Female bulkhead connectors for connection to radio equipment. Their shared frequency range and connection arrangement allow the main selection criteria to focus on the differences in beamwidth and gain. For installations involving several access points, these options help match individual antenna radiation patterns to the areas that need coverage.

The second-generation Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class antennas incorporate improvements to both their RF design and mechanical construction. The updated design has a visually lighter body, a significantly improved mounting bracket, and a radome made from more resistant material. The series uses only two radome sizes across its five models. Each antenna is intended for outdoor installation and carries an IP55 environmental rating, with UV-resistant polycarbonate among the materials used in its construction. These characteristics support installation in locations exposed to changing weather conditions.

All five models feature a pole-mounting bracket with mechanical tilt adjustment of ±25°, allowing the antenna to be angled toward the intended coverage area. The HG3-CC-S30 accommodates poles with diameters from 30 to 90 mm, while the other four models accommodate diameters from 30 to 80 mm. The entire series is specified for operation at temperatures from −30 °C to +55 °C and has a wind survival rating of 160 km/h. These common environmental and adjustment characteristics simplify the process of planning installations using different beamwidth models. Installers can select the radiation pattern required for each coverage area while using the same general approach to mounting and directional adjustment throughout the series.
