RF elements AH30-CC 30° Carrier Class Asymmetrical Horn Antenna
The AH30-CC Asymmetrical Horn Antenna from RF elements has a unique asymmetrical beam shape with N-female connectors. It has a high gain of 20.5dBi and a 30° azimuth beamwidth while maintaining excellent noise rejection. This antenna complements the successful Symmetrical Horn Antennas and offers a balanced Horizontal and Vertical beam pattern. Its elliptical beam cross-section provides better coverage and increased gain for stable link performance. The innovative mounting system makes installation quick and easy.

FAQs
Q1: What is the RF Elements 30° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna (AH30‑CC) and what is it used for?
A: The RF Elements 30° Asymmetrical Beam Antenna (AH30‑CC) is an outdoor wireless antenna designed for point‑to‑multipoint (PtMP) deployments. It provides a 30° asymmetrical beam, delivering focused signal coverage with improved performance and reduced interference in targeted areas.
Q2: What does “asymmetrical beam” mean for this antenna?
A: An asymmetrical beam means the antenna’s signal pattern is shaped to direct stronger coverage where it’s needed most, while reducing signal spill in less critical directions — enhancing network efficiency and reducing unwanted interference.
Q3: What does the “30°” specification indicate?
A: The 30° horizontal beamwidth describes the width of the antenna’s signal spread across the coverage area. A 30° beam strikes a balance between focused reach and broad coverage, suitable for mid‑range sector links in wireless networks.
Q4: Where is the AH30‑CC antenna typically deployed?
A: This antenna is ideal for wireless ISP base stations, campus wireless sectors, rural broadband links, and fixed‑wireless access installations where precise sector coverage and reliable wireless performance are required.
Q5: What physical and environmental features does the AH30‑CC offer?
A: The AH30‑CC features a rugged outdoor housing engineered to withstand harsh weather and temperature extremes. It supports mast or pole mounting for secure installation and long‑term outdoor network operation.
