Cisco BWX Adaptive BeamformingMobile WiMAX Beamforming Innovation
Beamforming uses antenna array and signal processing techniques to maximize signal strength for subscriber devices
+18 dB
+9 dB
No Beamforming Energy is dispersed across an entire
90° or 120° sector
Gain decreases quickly with distance, degrading performance
Limited coverage. Cells must be tightly spaced for good performance
Inter-cell interference adversely affects frequency reuse
Cisco’s Beamforming Implementation
Sector Antenna
Cisco 8-Element 120°Beamforming Array
Array is recalibrated every 5ms, energy is focused at individual subscribers
Gain remains high over long distances for static CPE , improving performance
Expanded Coverage. Cells can be widely spaced while providing good performance
Inter-cell interference is minimized, allowing maximum frequency reuse
0 dB
