Hello Guys,
I’d like to get help with a question about 5G antenna. How many simultaneous beams can a commercial panel antenna used in the gNB to cover a sector or a cell?
Normally, we work with sub-arrays to carry out this type of simultaneous multiple coverage, I understand that we are not going to merge all the elements to generate a single super-directive beam, in short, adaptive as it may be, right?
The big question is to try to understand that the antenna panel is capable of, at any time, issuing X number of simultaneous beams to cover the users in that region. So, for each type of these commercial antenna, how many beams can they actually emit simultaneously?
Perhaps, we can understand that we can have a maximum of eight simultaneous beams, per vertical plane. And then it will be cool, because even these eight beams, will not have the same effect as a single antenna that had a very high gain in all directions.
Best Regards!
