With the advancement of communication technology, from 4G to 5G, significant progress has been made in various areas.
The 5G antenna is distinguished by its broad coverage, capable of serving extensive regions. It offers two adjustment options: electronic downtilt angle and mechanical downtilt angle, allowing for precise tuning of the antenna and coarse adjustment of the coverage area. However, one drawback is that signal strength tends to weaken at the edges of the coverage area, potentially leading to call drops and diminished user experience.
As technology continues to evolve, following the advent of 5G, the limited coverage of individual 5G base stations necessitates a higher density of installations to accommodate a growing number of users. Consequently, antenna technology has evolved to incorporate new features. Traditional base station antennas typically featured two transmission signals and two reception signals, known as dual-transmit and dual-receive. To meet the demands of 5G in high-traffic environments and ensure optimal wireless performance for all users, 5G employs m-MIMO (massive Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology. This innovation allows for more precise targeting of individual users, enhancing service quality, especially for those located at the periphery of the coverage area, where signal quality is notably improved.
