This article introduces three SBA models from COJOT that feature dual-polarized radiators to support MIMO: the brand-new SBA2025B-DP, the SBA3438B-DP and the SBA4450B-DP.

SBA2025B-DP – Dual-Polarized Steerable Beam Antenna for the S-Band 

Tailored for the 2000-2500 MHz range, the new SBA2025B-DP is a compact, Steerable Beam Antenna engineered to support MIMO with dual-polarized radiators. Offering up to 20 beams and minimal side lobe levels, it delivers exceptional performance within a compact form factor. Its integrated 3D sensors ensure precise directional control, making it well-suited for tactical communication networks.

SBA3438B-DP – Dual-Polarized Steerable Beam Antenna for 5G 

This SBA for the 3.4 to 3.8 GHz frequency band provides output for dual ±45° slant polarizations to support MIMO usage. The extremely fast beam steering capabilities of the SBA3438B-DP are ideal for complex 5G nodes and MESH networks.

SBA4450B-DP – Dual-Polarized Steerable Beam Antenna for the NATO Band IV 

Designed for 4400 to 5000 MHz, the SBA4450B-DP is a Steerable Beam Antenna featuring remote-controlled beam steering with both vertical and horizontal polarization – enabling optimal gain direction and interference avoidance. Its swift beam steering via RS-485 or Ethernet communication enhances its adaptability in complex network configurations.

What is MIMO?

MIMO, short for Multiple Input Multiple Output, revolutionises wireless communication by multiplying the capacity of a radio link using multiple antennas for transmitting and receiving to benefit from multipath propagation. Whether it's optimising gain direction or mitigating interference, MIMO-enabled antennas such as the SBA2025B-DP, the SBA3438B-DP and SBA4450B-DP stand for communication efficiency in today's dynamic technological landscape.
