RF elements AH90-TP Asymmetrical Horn TP Antenna
The RF elements AH90-TP Asymmetrical Horn TP Antenna boasts the combined strengths of a traditional sector antenna and a horn antenna, presenting a high gain and zero side lobe radiation pattern.
With a wide azimuthal and narrow elevation plane, this antenna improves coverage planning choices. Its beam performance is unparalleled, maintaining stability of gain and radiation pattern across the entire operating band. In particular, the AH90-TP antenna excels in high-density AP clusters, densely populated areas, and co-location sites.
It features the innovative TwistPort™ connector, a twist-and-lock waveguide port, and is compatible with a wide range of mainstream third party radios through the TPA TwistPort™ Adaptor. For added durability, the AH90-TP has a sturdy aluminum ring and mounting bracket with stainless steel hardware and a protective black coating to prevent seizing.

FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements 90° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna AH90‑TP and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements 90° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna (AH90‑TP) is a high‑performance outdoor wireless antenna designed for point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) deployments. It provides 90° asymmetrical coverage, offering broad sector reach with targeted performance for wireless links.
Q2: What does “asymmetrical beam” mean in this context?
A: An asymmetrical beam means the antenna’s coverage pattern is shaped to direct signal strength unevenly across a sector, focusing coverage where it’s needed most while reducing unwanted signal spill. This optimises performance and reduces interference in complex wireless environments.
Q3: What does the “90°” specification indicate?
A: The 90° horizontal beamwidth describes the width of the antenna’s signal spread across the coverage area. A 90° beam provides broad sector coverage, enabling the antenna to serve many client devices across a wide outdoor area.
Q4: Where is the AH90‑TP antenna typically deployed?
A: This antenna is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus networks, community broadband, and fixed‑wireless access deployments where wide, stable sector coverage and reliable signal performance are required.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the AH90‑TP offer?
A: The AH90‑TP is built with a rugged outdoor housing designed to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for secure installation and dependable outdoor wireless performance.
