Horn antenna RF Elements HG3-CC-S90

The RF Elements HG3-CC-S90 is a compact symmetrical horn carrier-class antenna designed for 5.18–6.40 GHz operation. With a circular main beam, N-type female connector and a stable gain of 9.6 dBi, this model provides wideband performance and compact dimensions (312 × 157 × 152 mm) for installations where spectrum efficiency, scalability and precision coverage are required.

Advantages

The Symmetrical Horn Carrier Class Gen2 design produces an identical beam width in azimuth and elevation, eliminates side lobes and reduces received and transmitted noise compared to traditional sector antennas. Its frequency-independent radiation pattern ensures stable gain across the entire 5180–6400 MHz band. Compact construction and durable aluminium materials provide resistance to weather while reducing physical footprint on towers. N-type female connectors allow compatibility with a wide range of connectorized radios.

Suitable for

• Outdoor point-to-multipoint wireless networks in the 5 GHz band
• High-density sector deployments requiring narrow, co-located sectors
• Tower installations with space or rental-fee constraints
• Environments where low side-lobe radiation and improved spectrum reuse are important

How to use

Mount the HG3-CC-S90 on an appropriate mast or tower using standard mounting brackets and stainless steel hardware. Connect a coaxial feed with a 50 Ω impedance to the N-type female connector on the antenna and then to a compatible connectorized radio. Align the antenna so the circular main beam covers the intended sector; because the antenna has identical azimuth and elevation beamwidths, adjust height and tilt to avoid coverage nulls for nearby clients. Follow the radio manufacturer’s instructions for cabling and grounding.

Recommendations

For best spectral efficiency and coexistence, deploy multiple narrow sectors (for example 30°–90° models) with careful mechanical alignment and adequate isolation between sectors. Use this antenna where compact size and low side-lobe radiation are required to improve throughput and scalability of dense wireless networks.
