According to AISG, the frequencies shall be marked like shown in the following table.
The upper edge of the frequency range is used to select the colour code.
In line with this, we have invented a system in order to better illustrate the physical design of our antennas.
Based on the AISG colour coding, every antenna system is displayed corresponding to its frequency range. Each
system is additionally marked by its colour code abbreviation as well as an identification number
(e.g. “R1” for the first lowband system) called “Array ID”. For multi-array antennas, also the position marking is
indicated as stipulated by AISG (“left” / “right” / “center”).
The respective symbols are displayed on each type index of panel antennas in the catalog.
In case an ultra-broadband dipole array is used for two or three independent system, internal filters can be used
in order to divide the bands. Those filters are illustrated by the following symbols:

Design Compact size and elegant design are the distinguishing features of the Ericsson
antenna families.
Radome The radomes covers the internal antenna components. The fiberglass material
guarantees optimum performance regarding stability, strength, UV resistance,
painting, and weather protection.
The radome colour of the outdoor panel antennas is similar to RAL 7035.
Environmental influences Ericsson antenna designs are based on fundamental engineering knowledge and
also on our decades of practical experience, during which the various constructions
and materials used have proved their outstanding reliability.
Environmental conditions Our cellular antennas are designed to operate under the environmental conditions
as described in ETS 300 019-1-4 class 4.1 E.
The antennas exceed this standard regarding the following items:
– Low temperature: −55 °C
– High temperature (dry): +60 °C
For antennas equipped with FlexRET: The electrical downtilt adjusting is designed
to operate under the environmental conditions as described in the valid data sheet
of the FlexRET.
Ice protection: Due to the very sturdy antenna construction and the protection of
the radiating system by the radome, the antenna remains operational even under
icy conditions.
Environmental tests Ericsson antennas are designed according to the specifications as defined in
ETS 300 019-2-4. Extensive tests have been performed on typical samples
and modules. The vibration test has been adapted relating to frequency and
acceleration to the conditions of mast mounted antennas.
Low intermodulation With many years of experience in the construction of antennas and intensive
products (typ. <−153 dBc) research into the effects of intermodulation, we offer optimized material and
technology used for antennas (the given value refers to 3rd order products
measured with 2 carriers of 20 W each).
Excellent tracking Tracking states the symmetry between the +45° and −45° polarized horizontal
pattern. Bad tracking values lead to interferences in the network and reduced
diversity performance. The special Tracking compensation reduces the average
value measured at ±60° to < 2–3 dB.

Passive
Ericsson Antenna System | Catalogue 2022/2023 | Passive Antenna 17
Multi-array design Besides standard single array antennas, Ericsson designs antennas providing
multiple antenna arrays in one radome. These multi-array antennas do not
only supply a future-proof multiplicity of diverse frequency bands for various
technologies but are also well-prepared for different MIMO and b eamforming
applications. Our portfolio contains a high variety of design solutions like
interleaved and side-by-side antenna types or combinations of both as well as
filter realizations.
Multi-functional Depending on the type, the antennas are equipped with up to 2 attachment
installation hardware points. For mast-mounting, brackets, mechanical down tilt kits and various other
mounting material are available.
MTBF Statement Traditionally, passive components like antennas cannot be well calculated due to
the lack of a sufficient number of components in the MTBF library. Unfortunately,
this constraint results in a very inaccurate calculation. Thus, such results are
technically questionable and unrealistic. In essence, antennas are made from
mechanical parts that do not show any failure rates. Only available failure rates
can be calculated into an MTBF value. Consequently, such components cannot be
listed in any MTBF library.
Remote Electrical Tilt System Ericsson Antenna System hereby states that RET devices, as far as the functionality
AISG Compliancy and features are described within the AISG / 3GPP standard, are compliant with
the standard.
NGMN-P-BASTA All antennas which are measured according to the specifications given in
NGMN-P-BASTA White Paper Version 9.6/10.0 and 11.1 are clearly marked in the
data sheet. The latest data sheets can be found on our website.
RET RFID Functionality Ericsson Antenna System latest RET units are equipped with an internal RFID
reader. Most of our antennas are equipped with RFID tags. With this, all relevant
antenna data can automatically be read out by the RET. Further information
as well as an up-to-date list of the antennas can be found on our website. The
according data sheets are marked by an RFID sign.
4.3-10 Connectors Partly, latest products are equipped with 4.3-10 connectors.
The advantages of this connector are:
• Reduced dimensions on the bottom plate for more installation space
• Improved PIM stability and performance
• Easier installation, lower tightening torque
The universal 4.3-10 jack can be used with 3 different connector types (screw
type, push-pull type and hand screw type).
