Coverage analysisnetwork topology evolution

From 2009, the network topology has some evolution. With growing of users and network load,
more and more new sites are deployed in recent years, and down-tilt of antennas is increased to
change the coverage.

Coverage analysis--antenna radiation pattern

The factors which can influence the network performance:

HBW, VBW and Gain
Mechanical tilt and electrical tilt can change the coverage area of antenna;
The engineering error, accuracy of electrical tilt will also influence the coverage.

Coverage analysis-- Difference Performance for mechanical and electrical tilt in large down-tilt
As shown in below picture, when the mechanical tilt is too big (around 5 degree), the side edge coverage will have
some extension. The effect of mechanical tilt is not same as the electrical tilt, that means when M-tilt increase 1
degree, increasing 1 degree E-tilt will not compensate exactly.

Coverage analysis-- with different mechanical tilt

Coverage simulation in zero-tilt (fixed e-tilt 0 degree and m-tilt 0 degree) , in 5-tilt (fixed e-tilt 0

degree and m-tilt 5 degree) and in 10-tilt (fixed e-tilt 0 degree and m-tilt 10 degree) , we can find
the coverage has been changed, and caused extension in side lobe when the mechanical tilt is
increasing. The coverage will not follow expectation for optimization.

From the below two samples, we will find when the mechanical tilt is large, the coverage
will have some distortion.

Conclusion and Suggestion

The radiation performance (pattern) of HW fixed 6 degree antenna (A90451801) is normal. Two
parameters: Side lobe suppression for first side lobe above horizon and Front to back ratio both
satisfy the requirement of datasheet.

With growing of users and network load, more and more new sites are deployed in recent years,
and down-tilt of antennas is increased to change the coverage. The fixed down-tilt antenna is not

suitable for the scenario where need deployed with large down-tilt, which will cause a big
mechanical down-tilt. This situation will introduce an influence of coverage distortion for all
vendors antenna. So suggestions for these scenarios

1 reduce mechanical tilt

2,

reduce the height of antenna

3 replace the fixed tilt antenna with adjustable tilt antennae.g. A79451700v02.
