What does “low visual impact” mean for the AR1036.Z?

AR1036.Z is designed to look similar to common TV receiving antennas, making it easier to integrate on rooftops and facades where visual discretion matters.

Which services can be covered in the 790-960 MHz range?

This range can support cellular services typically deployed around 800/900 MHz such as GSM and LTE (4G), and low-band 5G depending on the operator band plan.

What polarization is provided by AR1036.Z?

The antenna supports V/H polarization as indicated in the datasheet, enabling flexible alignment according to the site requirements.

Does AR1036.Z include a radome?

No. The datasheet specifies “No radome” for ice protection on this model.

How is lightning protection handled?

All metal parts are D.C. grounded, as specified in the datasheet.

Which connector is used on AR1036.Z?

The antenna uses an N female connector, as indicated in the datasheet.

Low visual impact antenna for GSM/LTE 800/900 outdoor coverage

The AR1036.Z is a directional Yagi antenna engineered for the 790-960 MHz range, commonly used for GSM and LTE (4G) deployments around 800/900 MHz and for low-band 5G services according to national operator band plans. Its key advantage is the low visual impact: the mechanical form factor is similar to a TV receiving antenna, making it a practical choice for sites where aesthetics, camouflage and easy integration on rooftops or facades are important.

Typical applications

Outdoor BTS and sector coverage where discreet installation is required without sacrificing directional control.
Repeaters and micro-repeaters for GSM/LTE coverage extensions in rural or shadowed areas.
Urban/industrial sites where a compact antenna with predictable directivity helps limit unwanted radiation outside the target area.

Performance and installation notes

The antenna provides 10 dBi typical gain and V/H polarization for flexible alignment. The N female connector simplifies RF integration in professional installations. For safety and reliability, all metal parts are D.C. grounded for lightning protection. As specified in the datasheet, this model is supplied with no radome.

Antenna designed and manufactured in Italy.
