5G Aluminum Die-Cast Radiator | Extended Low-Band Solution- Our Technological Leaps
While most 5G aluminum die-cast radiators operate within limited bands (698–960 MHz), RF element engineers have pioneered an industry-first extended low-band radiator covering 617–960 MHz. This breakthrough addresses critical gaps in global 5G/4G deployments, enabling seamless connectivity for rural networks, underground facilities, and IoT ecosystems where low-frequency penetration is paramount.
Technical Innovation: Engineering the Impossible
1. Ultra-Wideband Performance
| Parameter | Standard Radiators | RF Element’s Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 698–960 MHz | 617–960 MHz |
| Bandwidth Coverage | 262 MHz | 343 MHz (+31%) |
| VSWR | ≤1.8:1 | ≤1.5:1 |
| PIM (2x20W) | -150 dBc | <-155 dBc |
Achieved through proprietary dipole arm geometry and impedance-matching slots.
2. Precision Manufacturing Process
a) Mold Design Innovation
Multi-stage CFD simulation for molten aluminum flow optimization
Conformal cooling channels ensuring ±0.05mm dimensional stability
b) Die-Casting Excellence
800-ton pressure injection at 720°C
Vacuum-assisted pores elimination (<0.2% porosity)
c) Surface Engineering
Electroplating: 8μm nickel undercoat + 3μm silver finish for oxidation resistance
Micro-Sandblasting: Ra 1.6μm surface roughness enhancing radiation efficiency
