4.2.1 TYPICAL TOWER TOP DEPLOYMENTKnowing that about 30% of the deployments are on monopoles, it is worthwhile observing in the followingfigures the typical mechanical constraints atop a monopole where the structure provides a plat<strong>for</strong>m <strong>for</strong>positioning antennas, Remote Radio Heads, tower top amplifiers, LNAs, feeder cables, <strong>and</strong> the like,including workspace <strong>for</strong> installers. These pinwheels are typically placed no closer than 10 feet verticalseparation. Notice the 16 feet of linear separation available <strong>for</strong> antennas sharing the same “sector face.”For an antenna configuration such as Antenna Configurations (H) or (I) (Div-2X or TX-DIV) in Figure 27,this corresponds to as much as 11 λ at 700 MHz.Figure 45 – Tower top plat<strong>for</strong>m with typical dimensions.<strong>4G</strong> <strong>Americas</strong> <strong>MIMO</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Smart</strong> <strong>Antennas</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Mobile</strong> Systems – October 2012 – All Rights Reserved66
