In-depth comparison of three panel antennas in 4G/LTE systems: GL-DY2327S9016, GL-DY2327S9014 and GL-DY2327S9011
In the construction of 4G/LTE systems, the choice of antenna is crucial, as it is directly related to the signal coverage, strength, and communication stability. Today, we will compare three panel antennas used for 4G/LTE system sector coverage: GL-DY2327S9016, GL-DY2327S9014, and GL-DY2327S9011, to help you make more appropriate choices in different usage scenarios.
◆They are consistent in many basic characteristics, such as frequency range, which all operate in the 2300-2700MHz band, making them well adapted to existing 4G/LTE networks.
◆In terms of polarization, ±45° polarization is adopted, which helps to reduce signal interference and improve the stability of signal transmission. ◆Moreover, their voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is ≤1.5, which means that the signal reflection is small and more efficient power transmission can be achieved. At the same time, all three antennas have DC Ground lightning protection, which can effectively protect the equipment in bad weather.
◆In terms of mechanical specifications, their input connector types are all 2xN-K, and they are all located at the bottom for easy connection. The operating temperature range is between -40°C and +65°C, which can adapt to a variety of ambient temperatures; the rated wind speed is also 60 m/s, which can work stably in general outdoor environments.

1. Gain performance
Gain is one of the important indicators to measure antenna performance. The gain of GL-DY2327S9016 is as high as 16dBi, which makes it excellent in signal amplification ability. High gain means that the signal can be transmitted farther and has more advantages in penetrating obstacles. In comparison, the gain of GL-DY2327S9014 is 14dBi, and the gain of GL-DY2327S9011 is 11dBi. Although lower gain will affect the transmission distance and penetration ability of the signal to a certain extent, it also has its unique advantages in some scenarios where the signal coverage range is not so high.
The difference in vertical beam width also makes these three antennas different in coverage and coverage accuracy. The vertical beam width of GL-DY2327S9016 is 7.5°, and the signal is relatively concentrated, which is more suitable for scenarios that require precise coverage in the vertical direction, such as coverage of specific floors in high-rise buildings. The vertical beam width of GL-DY2327S9014 is 15°, and the coverage range is relatively moderate, which can balance the coverage range and accuracy to a certain extent. The vertical beam width of GL-DY2327S9011 reaches 30°, with the widest coverage range. It can play a better role in some scenarios that require large-area vertical coverage, such as large warehouses, gymnasiums, etc.
The three antennas also differ in size and weight. The GL-DY2327S9016 measures 950×128×56mm and weighs 3.2kg, making it the largest and heaviest of the three. Larger size and weight mean that a more solid support structure is required during installation, but it may also bring better stability. The GL-DY2327S9014 measures 500×128×56mm and weighs 1.5kg, which is relatively moderate in size and weight. The GL-DY2327S9011 measures 230×128×56mm and weighs only 1.1kg. It is the lightest one, which is easier to install and suitable for use in some scenarios with limited installation space.
◆ Communication base stations in remote areas : In remote mountainous areas, grasslands and other places, the population is dispersed and the distance between base stations is far. With its high gain of 16dBi, GL-DY2327S9016 can transmit signals to farther places and provide stable 4G network services for dispersed users. For example, in some mountainous villages, after the base station is installed with this antenna, villagers can use their mobile phones to make calls and surf the Internet smoothly.
◆Precise coverage of high-rise office buildings : The internal space of high-rise office buildings is complex, and the signal requirements of different floors vary greatly. The narrow vertical beam width (7.5°) of GL-DY2327S9016 can achieve precise coverage of specific floors and reduce signal interference on other floors. For example, in a 50-story office building, operators can use this antenna to provide targeted coverage of key areas based on the office layout and personnel distribution on each floor to ensure the network experience of office workers.
◆ Urban residential area coverage : Urban residential areas have high building density, and signals are easily blocked and interfered. The 14dBi gain and 15° vertical beam width of GL-DY2327S9014 enable it to effectively cover multiple buildings within a certain range and provide stable 4G signals for residents in the community. For example, in a medium-sized community, the antenna installed on the base station can cover several residential buildings in the surrounding area, meeting the residents' daily needs for Internet access, video calls, etc.
◆ Indoor coverage in large shopping malls : Large shopping malls have wide interiors and many stores and consumers. The moderate coverage and signal gain of GL-DY2327S9014 can ensure that all areas in the mall can obtain good signal strength. Whether in the shopping area on the first floor of the mall or the dining and entertainment areas on the upper floors, consumers can use mobile phones to pay, browse the web, etc. smoothly.
◆ Small base stations and indoor distributed systems : In some places with limited space, such as basements, small office buildings, etc., the small and light features of GL-DY2327S9011 make its installation more flexible. It can be installed on walls, ceilings, etc. to provide necessary 4G signal coverage for these areas. For example, in an underground parking lot, due to the low space and limited installation locations, the use of this antenna can easily achieve signal coverage, making it convenient for car owners to use their mobile phones while parking.
◆Low-rise building concentration areas : In some old urban areas dominated by low-rise buildings, the buildings are low and densely distributed. The wider vertical beam width (30°) of GL-DY2327S9011 can achieve large-area vertical coverage of these low-rise buildings. This antenna installed on the base station can provide signal services for low-rise buildings in multiple surrounding streets to meet the network needs of residents and businesses.
After understanding their differences and specific application scenarios, how do we choose the appropriate antenna based on actual needs?
If you are building a 4G base station in suburban or rural areas where long-distance signal transmission and wide coverage are required, GL-DY2327S9016 is undoubtedly the best choice. Its high gain can ensure that the signal maintains sufficient strength during long-distance transmission, and the narrow vertical beam width can also allow the signal to cover the target area more concentratedly, reducing signal waste and interference.
In urban areas, the signal coverage requirements are relatively complex, requiring both a certain coverage range and signal stability. GL-DY2327S9014 is a good choice for base station construction in ordinary urban areas, or signal coverage in indoor places such as large shopping malls and office buildings. Its gain and vertical beam width can ensure signal stability and accuracy while meeting a certain coverage range. Moreover, the moderate size and weight also facilitate installation and maintenance in urban environments.
When encountering limited installation space, such as small base station construction in dense urban areas, or when large-area vertical coverage is required for lower-floor buildings, GL-DY2327S9011 shows its advantages. Its compact and lightweight design makes installation more flexible, and the wider vertical beam width can achieve a wider range of vertical coverage.
In summary, the three panel antennas GL-DY2327S9016, GL-DY2327S9014 and GL-DY2327S9011 have their own characteristics. When choosing, we need to comprehensively consider factors such as specific usage scenarios, signal coverage requirements and installation conditions, so that we can select the most suitable product to ensure the stable operation of the 4G/LTE system. I hope that this comparative analysis can help you choose the antenna more easily.
