All Airspan WiMAX antennas operating in the frequency range 3.4 to 3.7 GHz comply
with the ICNIRP exposure guidelines at a separation distance of 0.95m from the Antenna
Unit.
All Airspan Communications WiMAX antennas operating in the frequency range 4.9 to 5.0
GHz comply with the ICNIRP exposure guidelines at a separation distance of 0.34m from
the Antenna Unit.
The safe distance from a non-approved antenna of length D and Sector Angle δ is the
higher of the two values calculated using the formula:
Safe distance,
Where S is the maximum permitted flux density of 10 W/m^2 and P is the maximum
transmit power of the SCRT in watts.
Verify the location and properties of all devices radiating on the roof/tower and
arrange switching off of any which will potentially cause harm.
SCRT 365T use in USA
The 365TDD SCRT is certified for use from 3650 – 3700 MHz, operating in 5MHz and 10
MHz channel bandwidths.
The maximum permitted antenna port powers when used with a Omni-directional
antenna with gain of 7dBi, are:
• 29dBm for 5 MHz bandwidth
• 32 dBm for 10 MHz bandwidth
When used with antennas with gain > 7dBi, the transmit power of the SCRT must be
reduced by 1dB for each additional dB in antenna gain above 7dBi.
The maximum permitted exposure level for the SCRT is given by:
S = EIRP/4 π R
2
Where:
Maximum Permitted Power Density, S = 1mW/cm
2
= 10W/m
2
EIRP = Maximum Antenna Transmit Power, P of 32 dBm + 7dBi Antenna gain
= 39dB or 7.943 W
And R is distance from antenna
Safe distance from Antenna is therefore given by:
R= √ (EIRP/4 πS)
= √ (7.943/(4 * 3.14158 * 10)
= 0.25m

SCRT
Introduction
This document covers the installation of masthead equipment for both the HiperMAX and
HiperMAX-micro systems of the SCRT , associated antennas, GPS and surge protection
SCRT
The Single Channel Radio Transceiver (SCRT) is housed in a masthead unit that forms the
remote radio head of the HiperMAX\HipermaxMicro system. Several antenna and mounting
arrangements are available for the SCRT, including a front mounting antenna. Alternatively
independently mounted antennas may be used. The SCRT can be pole mounted or plate
mounted using the appropriate installation kit. The SCRT requires a solar shield to protect the
electronics from elevated temperatures, and various configurations are available depending on
which mounting method and which antenna arrangement is used
WiMAX Antennas
Standard system configurations utilise a compact vertically polarised sector antenna which
mounts and connects directly to the SCRT. Independently mounted antennas can also be
accommodated. Antennas are available for a range of frequency bands and sector angles. For
more details see the Airspan Product Catalog 005-8404-000
GPS Antenna
HiperMAX-micros that have the GPS option have a GPS antenna and four metres of cable
included. HiperMAX requires the antenna to be mounted on the mast or a rooftop and cabled to
the GPS shelf in the ATCA rack. The first consideration for a GPS antenna is a clear view of the
sky, preferably 360 degrees. In the usual installation, the GPS antenna is located low and close
to the equipment building roof or mast.
DC Power Feed Lightning Surge Protection
The DC feed should be protected against lightning surges as the antenna ends. For the
HiperMAX-micros protection also has to be provided at the SDR. For HiperMAX protection also
has to be provided at the building entry. For more details see the Airspan Product Catalog 005-
8404-000

lengths.
RF Port 50 Ohm RF connector for external antenna.
Connector type N-type
Earth Stud Each unit is fitted with an earth stud (M6
Posi-drive screw)
SCRT Installation
The SCRT can be used either with an antenna mounted on the front of the SCRT or with a
remotely attached RF antenna. The SCRT can also be pole mounted or plate mounted. The SCRT
requires a solar shield to protect the electronics from elevated temperatures, and various
configurations are available depending on which mounting method and which antenna
arrangement is used. Specifically the following kits are currently available:
1. Mounting kit and direct mounting antenna for pole mounting
2. Installation kit for independently mounted antenna and pole mounted SCRT
3. Installation kit for independently mounted antenna and plate mounted SCRT
Other kits may be made available to cater for other mounting arrangements. Note that the
SCRT and the mounting kits are generally supplied as two separate boxes (except for the
4.9gHz SCRT).
Each SCRT connects to an SDR base-band unit using an optical fibre cable. Depending on the
type of SDR unit in use, the cable termination at the SDR end may differ (different terminations
for SDR-Micro and SDR-ATCA). Each SCRT also requires 48volt power which is supplied from
the SDR-Micro or an alternative power supply when the HipexMAX-SDR (ATCA version) is used.
Surge protection kits are also available for added protection for HiperMAX installations.
Physical Installation - Masthead Equipment

Note: For pole mounted installation, the SCRT requires a 40-45cm pole diameter. The pole
should be made of galvanised steel and must be earthed to ensure that a discharge path is
available for lightning surges. In cases where the pole is painted or made of other materials or
where the pole is not earthed, a substantial lightning conduction strap must be fitted to the
earth terminal of the SCRT. Similarly for plate mounting installations, the installer must ensure
that good earth is available to the SCRT. If the plate if not earthed or is painted, then a
lightning conduction strap must be fitted to the SCRT.
