The MCW Broadband Antenna

MCW’S Revolutionary NEW Antenna: Longer Range of Transmission for the Same Gain and Power

The MCW AX/X - 700/1900 antennas address problematic issues that confront cellular network engineers in the rapidly growing cellular market.

This particular antenna, while operating in the frequency range between 700 - 1900 MHz, also offers gains from 15 dBi to 21 dBi and is expandable to the 24 dBi in an 8’ length.

Because of its construction type, the maximum electronic tilt that can generally be achieved in a patch antenna is 2 degrees. Without the addition of a mechanical tilt mechanism, the transmission lines will be virtually parallel to the ground, thus wasting transmitted energy by radiating it toward the horizon. While this problem can be somewhat lessened by mechanically tilting the antenna to the required angle, this technically reduces the transmitted range by preventing transmission in the included angle between the horizontal plane and the tilted angle plane. Due to available electronic downtilt of the MCW Broadband Antenna (up to 35 degrees), the effective range of transmission is higher by an order of magnitude over conventional patch antennas with the same gain and power.
