Figure 7-1 Typical Cell Site
A typical cell site contains many pieces of hardware. These may include,
but are not limited to:
• racks of radios
• combiners
• coaxial feedline
• tower-mounted amplifiers
• lightning protection devices
• filters
• antennas
These may operate at multiple cellular, personal communication system
(PCS), and microwave frequencies.
The components of the cell site that lie between the
transmitting/receiving ports (radios) up to and including the antenna are
commonly referred to as the “antenna system.” Those components
between the antenna and the radio ports are referred to as the “antenna
feedline system.”
