Figure 18 – Visual impact of 5 m high-gain antenna (near tower top) operating at 1900 MHz compared to tower,conventional sector antenna, <strong>and</strong> microwave link antennas when using (a) default color scheme <strong>and</strong> (b) color schemedesigned to blend in with the tower structure.1.5.4 DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOSHigh-gain antennas are primarily suitable <strong>for</strong> scenarios with limited elevation angular spread. Theantenna elevation beam shall be wide enough to cover the angular interval corresponding to theterrain profile of the served cell, i.e., the user distribution. Angular distributions <strong>for</strong> four differentscenarios are presented Figure 19. Two different inter-site distances (ISD) are assumed, 1732 m <strong>and</strong>5000 m, modeling relatively low-density site deployments, <strong>and</strong> the antenna height is 30 m. Normaldistributedvariations in the UE vertical position is assumed with st<strong>and</strong>ard deviations (STD) of 5 m <strong>and</strong>10 m, both representing flat propagation environments, <strong>and</strong> shadowing effects are ignored. The UEpositions are concentrated within narrow angular intervals of about 5 <strong>and</strong> 2 degrees <strong>for</strong> inter-sitedistance of 1732 m <strong>and</strong> 5000 m, respectively, <strong>for</strong> both settings of st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation.
