Do base station antennas increase wind load?
Base station antennas add load to the towers not only due to their mass, but also in the form of additional dynamic loading caused by the wind. Depending on the aerodynamic efficiency of the antenna, the increased wind load can be significant. Additionally, there are other location-specific factors to consider when calculating antenna wind load.
How do you calculate wind load?
ment, including the front-side and lateral-side wind load. When calculating the wind load on the front side of the antenna, subtract the win load of the part of the pole protruding from the antenna. When calculating the wind load on the lateral side of the antenna, subtract
Which wind direction should be considered in a base station antenna?
In aerospace and automotive industries, only unidirectional wind in the frontal direction is of concern. In the world of base station antennas, wind direction is unpredictable. Therefore, we must consider 360 degrees of wind load. Wind force on an object is complex, with drag force being the key component.
Why do wireless operators use wind load data?
That’s why wireless operators often use wind load data presented by base station antenna manufacturers when deciding on which antennas to deploy. Therefore, it is important for operators and tower owners to fully understand how wind load data is calculated so fair comparisons can be made between various antennas.
What is wind load based on?

Are cellular tower antennas able to withstand wind loads?
As tower space becomes increasingly scarce and some infrastructure pushes its limits, the demand for antennas that can better withstand wind loads is more crucial than ever. Andrew’s re-designed base station antennas are crafted to be exceptionally aerodynamic, minimizing the overall wind load imposed on a cellular tower or similar structures.
