4.2.3. Other antennas mounting
Antenna which do not have a direct interface to RAy needs also a proper
18
or a
flexible waveguide with a
for it. Such interface has to be installed prior to RAy unit install-
ation to the antenna.
Antenna mounting kit can be ordered as an accessory part (one per antenna). It has to be chosen ac-
cording to selected band and antenna vendor - contact your local supplier or
20
to check currently
available types. Any other antenna can be connected to the RAy by standard flexible waveguide. RACOM
offers mounting kits (RAy holders) for different flexible waveguides (see
21
and the picture
).
Standard mechanical tools are enough to install each of those accessories.
4.2.3.1. Antenna mounting kit for standard Arkivator antennas
Items "
ANT-ARK-KIT-xx
" (where xx is the band) fits all traditionally produced Arkivator antennas (from
company Arkivator, acquired by LEAX Group) as well as today produced Arkivator antennas from
company LEAX Arkivator Telecom sold without RAy interface.
Note
All LEAX-RAy antennas listed in the RACOM portfolio contain specific RAy interface and thus
no mounting kit is required.
4.2.3.2. Antenna mounting kit for standard Andrew antennas
Items "
ANT-ANW-KIT-xx
" (where xx is the band) fits most of Andrew antennas manufactured by
CommScope with specific vendor's interface unmounted. All generations of RAy units (including those
for 17 and 24 GHz ones, which are using
) are OK with Single polarized Andrew
VHLP antennas with round waveguide. Dual polarized antennas can be used as well, but are typically
more expensive.
• for 17 GHz band use
and order the following VHLP single-polarized antenna
types:
VHLP1-18-BW1
1 ft
VHLP2-18-BW1
2 ft
VHLP3-18-BW1
3 ft
VHLP4-18-BW1
4 ft
Note
All VHLP 18 GHz antennas labelled for 17.700 - 19.700 GHz band are also OK for 17.100
- 17.300 GHz band (confirmed to RACOM by CommScope).
• for 24 GHz band use
23
and order the following VHLP single-polarized antenna
types:
18
