5-beam RF antenna solution for indoor coverage in Stadium Perak / Tuan Nur Najihah Ayuni Jaafar

This paper will simulate the coverage prediction upon deployment of the Multi-beam RF Antenna Solution. The initial project is to address the high demand on data transaction over the services provided by telecommunication industries during major events held in Malaysia such as in stadiums or Open Square. For instance, when there is a big event, subscribers tend to go live and this lead to bad connectivity. This has come out to a solution in which the Multi-beam RF Antenna is applied. So this research paper will provide data analysis information for example formula, calculation and significant values involved during the creation of the project. To obtain all the information, a software called Planning Tools is used. This planning tool will identify the best position of the antenna to be placed at its best position based on coverage strength. As subscribers' demand for better coverage as well as fast throughput during major events especially in open area, most telecommunication operators realize of the initiative and had open their steps to attain the customers desire. Concerning the request, a 5-beams antenna is proposed to serve high crowd also provide best coverage with faster data transaction. A simulation of 3G and 4G coverage prediction need to be conducted before the deployment of the proposed antenna type. The solution is chosen as it is sustainable maintenance, cost-effective and fast in deployment. Few steps taken right before the deployment is done such as the simulation of coverage prediction. The simulation is carried out using the planning tools namely iBwave software where the performance in terms of Return Loss (dB), frequency band, technology (3G and 4G), Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), Utilizing Rate (%), Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) are observed to obtain the best coverage in the proposed area. It is expected that the antenna will serve the user subscribers with excellent in term of network quality and performance to the targeted area with minimum interference and delay.
