Technical FAQs 4

Are Andrew's base station antennas aerodynamic?

Andrew’s re-designed base station antennas are crafted to be exceptionally aerodynamic, minimizing the overall wind load imposed on a cellular tower or similar structures. Wind load is the force generated by wind on the exterior surfaces of an object.

Which wind direction should be considered in a base station antenna?

In aerospace and automotive industries, only unidirectional wind in the frontal direction is of concern. In the world of base station antennas, wind direction is unpredictable. Therefore, we must consider 360 degrees of wind load. Wind force on an object is complex, with drag force being the key component.

How do we reduce wind load in base station antennas?

To reduce wind load in base station antenna designs, the key is to delay flow separation and reduce wake. This equation can be simplified, as only the third term on each side is related to pressure drag. Furthermore, force is related to pressure: How do we reduce wind load for base station antennas?

Why do base station antennas have 360 degrees?

By improving aerodynamic eficiency in all 360 degrees, the design improves wind load performance regardless of the wind direction, making it uniquely tailored for base station antennas. Andrew strives to help mobile network operators optimize cell site performance.
