H.2. WipLL 700 MHz
The built-in antennas of all WipLL radios, except for WipLL 700 MHz, cover all
frequencies in their respective frequency band. WipLL 700 MHz built-in antenna
covers only Band C (i.e. 710 to 716 MHz, and 740 to 746 MHz) frequency band.
Therefore, Airspan provides an external antenna for WipLL 700, allowing coverage
of the entire 700 MHz band (698 to 746 MHz), including the licensed A and B bands
used in USA.
For most bands, WipLL radios are compatible with a large variety of external
antennas. However, WipLL 700 provides a limited variation of external antennas.
Therefore, for WipLL 700 MHz, the following antennas are provided:
90° panel or omni-directional (for BSR)
14-element yagi antenna (for SPR)
H.2.1. Antenna Specifications
Table H-11 and Table H-12: list the external antenna specifications for BSR and
SPR devices operating in the 700 MHz band, respectively.

H.2.2. RF Planning Guidelines for Band C in FCC
Markets
Some operators (e.g., in the USA) have licenses for Band C (710 – 716 MHz and
740 – 746 MHz). When operating in Band C, WipLL 700 allows a maximum of four
BSRs at a Base Station (according to FCC regulations). This is to reduce RF
interference with other radio devices that may be operating in nearby frequencies.
With the 1 Msps mode, the center frequencies are 711.5, 712.5, 713.5, 714.5, 741.5,
742.5, 743.5, and 744.5. Thus, the frequency allocation for four BSRs (i.e., sectors)
is 711.5, 741.5, 714.5, and 744.5.
With the 1.33 Msps mode, the center frequencies are 712, 713, 714, 742, 743, and
744. Thus, the frequency allocation for four BSRs (i.e., sectors) is 712, 742, 714,
and 744.
External Antennas Specifications System Description
H-22 Airspan Networks Inc. 25030311-08
Figure H-9: Frequency allocation in a four-sector Base Station
Radio interference may occur between the BSRs operating in the upper frequency
range (i.e., 742 MHz and 744 MHz) and the lower frequency range (i.e., 712 MHz
and 714 MHz). To overcome this interference, a 1-meter vertical separation is
recommended between the BSRs operating in the upper frequency and the BSRs
operating in the lower frequency.
