Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
- Q1: What are the main benefits of the 600-6000MHz frequency range?
- A: This extended range allows the coupler to support all sub-6GHz 5G bands as well as Wi-Fi 6E applications, making it a future-proof solution for high-capacity indoor and outdoor DAS networks.
- Q2: How does PIM performance affect cellular network quality?
- A: Low PIM (≤ -161dBc) is essential for maintaining signal integrity in 5G systems. It prevents interference and noise within the components, ensuring high data speeds and reducing the risk of dropped calls.
- Q3: Why does the isolation value change across different frequency bands?
- A: Isolation performance naturally varies with frequency due to RF propagation characteristics. Our design ensures high isolation even at the 6GHz limit, minimizing leakage and protecting signal paths.
- Q4: Is the black-plated finish suitable for harsh environments?
- A: Yes, the high-quality black plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and thermal stability, making it ideal for both indoor IBS and outdoor BTS environments with an operating range of -30°C to +65°C.
- Q5: Which coupling value (dB) should I choose for my project?
- A: It depends on your power budget. Higher dB values (like 30dB) have very low main line loss but send less power to the coupled port, while lower dB values (like 6dB) provide more power to the coupled port but increase main line insertion loss.
