RFS offers a complete portfolio

of microwave antennas to meet all
of your needs
Whether you are a telecom operator, a telecom manufacturer, a government
agency, an enterprise or a strategic industry, RFS offers microwave antennas that
support your applications and deliver dependable performance at low total cost of
ownership (TCO):
RFS offers four types of

microwave antennas, each
one designed for a specific
application in your network.
Together, our complete
portfolio of microwave
antennas takes your
network from rooftops in
dense urban areas, through
suburbs and across long
stretches of land to the
harshest mountaintop and
seaside environments.
Stringent design and quality testing procedures ensure that every RFS microwave
antenna meets or exceeds electrical, mechanical and environmental performance
standards with no compromises and no surprises.
Simplified installation and deployment procedures, low maintenance and longterm reliability keep post-purchase costs to a minimum. Compact packaging keeps
transportation costs low.
Modular designs let you pay as you grow, evolving antennas and adding capacity
as needed without the cost of replacing the antenna.
We also offer a full range of options and accessories for each antenna type to support
your end-to-end radio link network (RLN). With manufacturing facilities and teams around
the world, RFS is ready to serve customers in any location.

The windspeed performance specifications of 4 and 6 feet in this table apply to antennas categorized under Configuration 1 in the associated wind speed and sway bar
selection guide. All Configuration 1 antennas with a survival wind speed of 200 km/h are also available in models that offer higher survival wind speed performance
(Configuration 2).
Wind speed and sway bar selection guide

A wind kit, perimeter sway bar and sway bar connecting kit are available to complement
your RFS CompactLine and CompactLine EASY antennas:
0.3 m (1 ft) have a survival wind speed
of 320 km/h (198 mph)
A wind kit increases antenna survival

wind speed support from 200 km/h
(125 mph) to 252 km/h (155 mph).
Wind kits give customers the flexibility
to upgrade survival wind speed support
levels in the field during installation if
wind conditions are more severe than
anticipated. Note that:
0.6 m (2 ft) and 0.9 m (3 ft) antennas

have a survival wind speed of 252
km/h (155 mph)
A universal sway bar tower connecting

kit allows sway bars to be attached to
pipes or L-structures without drilling a
hole in the pipe or structure.
1.8 m (6 ft) antennas are available in

either in 200 km/h (125 mph) or 252
km/h (155 mph) versions and cannot
be upgraded in the field
The wind kit is available for 1.2 m

(4 ft) antennas
Sizes (ft)
An optional perimeter sway bar provides

added assurance on antennas that are
0.9 m (3 ft) and larger in case mistakes
are made during installation.

on RFS TrunkLine antennas provides cellular
coverage along the main road and train arteries
between Moscow and St. Petersburg
North America-only antennas

(PAD and PADX models) feature:
In Arizona, USA, RFS TrunkLine antennas,

waveguides and accessories provide the lifeline
for the states highway patrol, Emergency
Medical Services (EMS) providers and other
public safety services operating across long
distances.
Improved performance that meets Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) category A standards without a shroud
Good radiation performance, particularly in the back end

An efficient feed design and a deep-dish reflector
to improve front-to-back ratio

The performance specifications in this table apply to antennas categorized under Configuration 1 in the associated wind speed and sway bar selection guide. In most cases,
Configuration 1 antennas offer a survival wind speed of 200 km/h. However, most 200 km/h antennas (except 4.6 m (15 ft) models) are also available in models that offer higher
survival wind speed performance.

A wind speed, perimeter sway bar and sway bar connecting kit are available to complement your RFS TrunkLine antennas:
A wind kit increases antenna survival wind speed support from 200 km/h
(125 mph) to 252 km/h (155 mph). Wind kits give customers the flexibility to
upgrade survival wind speed support levels in the field during installation if
wind conditions are more severe than anticipated.

The performance specifications in this table apply to antennas categorized under Configuration 1 in the associated wind speed and sway bar selection guide. In most
cases, Configuration 1 antennas offer a survival wind speed of 200 km/h. However, most 200 km/h antennas (except 4.6 m (15 ft) models) are also available in models
that offer higher survival wind speed performance.

A wind kit, perimeter sway bar and sway bar connecting kit are available to complement your RFS PrimeLine antennas:
A wind kit increases antenna survival wind speed support from
200 km/h (125 mph) to 252 km/h (155 mph). Wind kits give
customers the flexibility to upgrade survival wind speed support
levels in the field during installation if wind conditions are more
severe than anticipated.
A universal sway bar tower connecting kit allows sway bars to

be attached to pipes or L-structures without drilling a hole in the
pipe or structure.

Wideband model
This table summarizes the

main RFS Harsh Areas Line
antenna models.
Additional antenna
variants and customized
versions are also available.
For example:
RFS PrimeLine antenna
models can be upgraded
with our specialized epoxy
paints and corrosionresistant hardware so
you can bring ultra-high
performance and the
highest XPD levels to the
harshest environments.
RFS can develop customized
Harsh Areas Line antennas
to meet requirements for
specific projects or specific
wind, humidity, ice, snow,
volcanic ash or pollution
challenges. An antenna ice
shield is also available in
North America.
** : these 2 digits indicates

the antenna revision index
and the flange option see
the RFS naming structure in
page 20 for more details.
To confirm proper ordering
models, please contact your
RFS representative.

Gain
Radiation pattern envelope (RPE)
Inter-port isolation (IPI)
The ratio of the radiation intensity in the

main beam axis to the radiation intensity
that would be obtained if the power
accepted by the antenna were radiated
isotropically. Value measured in dBi. The
values are stated for the three frequencies
at mid-band as well as for the bottom and
top of the frequency band. The tolerance
for antenna gain is 0.5 dB.
The envelope represents the worst values

of measurements taken on the pattern
test range at the three frequencies that
are mid-band, bottom and top of band,
in copolar and cross-polar conditions,
horizontal and vertical polarized, over the
full 360 of azimuth.
The ratio in dB of the power level applied

to one input port of a dual-polarized
antenna to the power level received in the
other input port on the same antenna.
Since the envelope is drawn over the

highest peaks of all measurements, actual
interference radiation in an operational
system will generally be smaller than
calculated from the RPE. Tolerance on
given values is 3 dB in an angular region of
100 and 2 dB from 100 to 180.
The antenna axis deflection is less than

one-third of the half power beam width
at the highest frequency supported. The
drop in signal is only approximately 1 dB;
the radio link will therefore continue to
operate.
Half power beam width (3 dB-BW)

The angle, relative to the main beam axis,
between the two directions at which the
co-polar pattern is 3 dB below the value on
the main beam axis.
Front-to-back ratio (F/B)
Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) or

return loss
The voltage standing wave ratio, or return
loss, characterizes the level of energy
reflected by impedance mismatching along
an electrical transmission line. Expressed in
dB, the return loss is a logarithmic measure
of the reflection coefficient. It represents
the ratio of the transmitted power to the
reflected power.
The stated values are guaranteed across
the frequency band of operation.
The highest level of radiation relative to the

main beam in an angular zone of 180
40 for all antennas. Tolerance on stated
values is 2 dB.
Operational wind speed
Survival wind speed

The antenna sub-system will survive the
specified survival wind speed without any
permanent deformation or changes of
shape, although realignment might be
needed. An additional load of a
25 mm (1 in) radial ice layer is taken
into account.
Cross polarization discrimination (XPD)

The difference in dB between the copolarized main beam gain and the
orthogonal signal measured within an
angular zone of azimuth that is twice the
maximum half power beam width of the
frequency band.

Why RFS?
Here are just a few of the reasons customers

choose RFS microwave antennas
RFS has been a leader in

designing and manufacturing
microwave antennas for more
than 30 years and has deployed
several million microwave
antennas around the globe.
With manufacturing facilities
on five continents, RFS can
ensure its customers enjoy low
transportation costs and short
lead times.
Lightweight, yet robust antennas

reduce tower loading as well as
installation costs and time.
Mechanical designs are based on
advanced calculation methods, such
as the finite element method.
Mechanical stability and higher
wind resistance reduce maintenance
requirements and increase antenna
life span.
A spun backring design on antenna
dishes 1.8 m (6 ft) and larger increases
mechanical stability and link security.
Rear-mounted feeds on most models
simplify installation.
Small antennas meet key radiation
pattern requirements.
Smaller antennas can be used
in place of larger antennas to simplify
site negotiations and minimize
leasing costs.
RFS CompactLine and CompactLine EASY

antennas support integrated radios.
Modular designs, low maintenance

requirements and long-term
reliability reduce total cost of
ownership.
Compact packaging reduces
transportation requirements and
simplifies logistics.
Very simple installation procedures
accelerate installations and reduce
training requirements.
Optional split-reflector designs
further reduce packaging and
transportation requirements.
Customized fittings allow specific
radios and hot-standby couplers to
be mounted directly on the antenna,
eliminating the need for a waveguide link
to the radio1.
Extensive testing and qualification
procedures mean there are no
compromises in performance or safety.
Our customers have complete confidence
in our microwave antennas.
Innovative structural designs

minimize materials without sacrificing
mechanical stability.
