RAU Fitted Directly and Separately to the Antenna

8.2.3 Antenna

Two types of antenna are available: one for the RN to Multi AT
Connection, Point-to-Multipoint, and the other for RN to single AT
Connection, Point-to-Point.

The RAU is fitted directly to this antenna by default; the separate
installation is possible through a flexible waveguide connected to the
RAU.

8.2.3.1 

Antenna for Point-to-Multipoint Connection

The antenna for point-to-multipoint connection is a sector antenna,
highly directive in elevation. It is made of aluminium, and has an
integrated radome. It is available in horizontal or vertical polarisation.
