OMT Offering Now Available for Microwave Antennas
Radio Frequency Systems (RFS) now offers a vertical Orthogonal Mode Transducer (OMT), designed for maximum flexibility and future-proofing, that enables users to implement a “pay as you grow” scheme for up to four outdoor units (ODUs).
OMTs are multi-port microwave couplers that combine two cross polarized RF signals, allowing multiple ODUs, operating on different polarizations to operate simultaneously on one antenna. RFS OMT addresses the industry’s increasing need for dual polarized direct mount antennas for higher capacity bandwidth, which are well suited for 4G and LTE applications.
RFS OMT portfolio is comprehensive, available in frequencies from 6 GHz to 25GHz with customized interfaces for several microwave radio manufacturers. It is compatible with RFS’ 1ft-6ft, SB1, SC2, SC3, SB4, SB6 series antennas.
