HG913P-120V2 Vertical Polarization Panel Antenna

Introduction

The L-com HG913P-120V2 is a vertically polarized sector panel antenna for the 860MHz to 960MHz range, with a design centered on 900MHz-band cell-site and fixed wireless installations. Its combination of a broad 120° beamwidth, 13dBi typical gain, and adjustable mechanical down-tilt makes it suited to shaping sector coverage rather than providing an omnidirectional signal pattern.

The antenna is designed for outdoor deployment, using a heavy-duty plastic radome and included mast-mounting hardware for all-weather installations.

What it does

The HG913P-120V2 transmits or receives vertically polarized RF signals across 860MHz to 960MHz. Its 120° beamwidth supports coverage of a defined sector, while the 13dBi typical gain provides directional concentration compared with a broad omnidirectional antenna.

Mechanical down-tilt is adjustable from 0° to 18°, allowing installers to direct the coverage area downward as required by the installation geometry. This can be useful when the antenna is mounted above the intended service area and coverage needs to be focused closer to the site.

The antenna is built around a 50Ω RF system and uses an integral N-female connector. It supports up to 300W maximum power and specifies an input VSWR of 1.5:1. A minimum 20dB front-to-back ratio is specified, supporting separation between the intended forward sector and signals behind the panel.

Applications

Potential uses that follow from its frequency range, sector pattern, and vertical polarization include:

• 900MHz-band cell-site sector coverage
• Fixed wireless and wireless ISP sector installations operating from 860MHz to 960MHz
• 900MHz ISM and LPWAN network coverage
• IoT, M2M, and SCADA radio links requiring directional sector coverage
• RFID or other 900MHz wireless infrastructure deployments
• Outdoor mast-mounted RF installations where adjustable down-tilt is needed

Design considerations

The HG913P-120V2 is intended for mast mounting, so installation planning should account for mast location, height, orientation, and the desired 0° to 18° down-tilt setting. Its vertical polarization should match the polarization of the connected radio system and client antennas where applicable.

The integral N-female connector requires a compatible 50Ω RF cable or adapter arrangement. System designers should also account for the antenna’s 300W maximum power rating, specified VSWR, and the operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C. The heavy-duty plastic radome is intended to support all-weather use, but the full installation should still consider cable sealing, connector protection, and mounting hardware suitability.
