Chapter 2 Hardware Descriptions
antenna receives the strongest signals. The tilt of the uni-directional antenna can be tuned
mechanically, and electrical tilt is used to tune the omni-directional antenna.
The principle of the electrical tilt is as follows:
The adjustment of the phase of the antenna array vibrator changes the maximum vertical
and horizontal components and alters synthesized field strength, thus making the vertical
pattern of the antenna declining.
Because the antenna field strength increases or
decreases simultaneously in all directions, which ensures that the antenna pattern hardly
varies with the tilt. This diminishes the coverage of the main lobe and ensures that no
interference occurs when the coverage of the whole pattern decreases in its service area.
2.4.3 Feeder Structure
The feeder is used to receive and transmit radio RF signals between the antenna and the
ZXSDR R8860. There are many types of feeder cables such as 1/2 inch and 7/8 inch
feeder cable.
When the distance between the ZXSDR R8860 cabinet and antenna is less, then 1/2 inch
feeder cable is used. In this case, the ZXSDR R8860 cabinet is directly connected to the
1/2 inch feeder and 1/2 inch feeder cable is connected to antenna.
When the distance between the ZXSDR R8860 cabinet and antenna is more, then 7/8
inch feeder cable is used. In this case, ZXSDR R8860 cabinet is first connected to the
jumper, then jumper is connected to 7/8 inch feeder cable, and 7/8 inch feeder cable is
again connected to jumper and lastly jumper is connected to antenna.
The antenna may have N type or DIN type interface. The feeder is adapted to female and
male N connectors. Usually both ends of the delivered feeder are male N connector to
facilitate on-site installation.
