Tsunami MP.11 Recommended Antennas
Sector Antennas
Sector antennas are high-gain directional antennas. These cylinders contain a boom supporting thin vertical rods.
The signal propagates off the front of the boom. Note that some signal (back lobes) fall behind the boom. Sector
antennas create higher gain by producing narrower beams (20 – 80 H, 14 – 64 V).
The wide-angle sector antenna is a good Base Station antenna for hilly terrain. It combines a wide opening angle
“sector” with relatively high gain. The mounting brackets allow tilting of the antenna. This antenna also is used
when the amount of traffic in a cell is too high for a single Base Station with an omni-directional antenna. The
wide-angle antenna allows dividing the cell into three sectors that each can be serviced by a Base Station.

Parabolic Dish Antennas
Parabolic antennas are concave panels or bowls that produce an extremely narrow beam (4 – 25 degrees
horizontal / vertical).
