The Complete Guide to RF Optimization/Design: 4G/5G Network FAQ
RF Fundamentals & Optimization 1. Antennas: How does Half-Power Beamwidth (HPBW) actually impact sector overlap? A: HPBW defines the angle where the antenna’s gain drops by 3dB from the peak. For RF planning, a narrower horizontal HPBW (e.g., 33° vs. 65°) provides higher gain and tighter sectorization, reducing co-channel interference (PCI collision) between sectors. However,…
