KP Performance Antennas Launches New Line of RET Antennas
June 9, 2023 | KP Performance AntennasEstimated reading time: 1 minute
KP Performance Antennas, an Infinite Electronics brand and a manufacturer of wireless network antennas, has announced the launch of a new line of remote electrical tilt (RET) antennas for wireless communication networks.
The new RET antennas are designed to provide enhanced network coverage and capacity while reducing maintenance costs. They are ideal for use in LTE, 5G and other cellular networks.
KP’s new RET antennas feature AISG 2.0 remote electrical tilt technology, available in 2° to 12° or 0° to 10° options, that allows for precise antenna adjustments. With this capability, network operators can adjust the tilt of the antenna remotely. This helps to optimize the coverage and capacity of the network, which is particularly useful in areas with varying terrain or high interference. Being able to remotely control the coverage also enables antenna adjustments without costly tower climbs or network downtime.
The RET antennas have options for two, four or six connector ports. This allows for multiple frequencies to be covered with one antenna and reduces the need for additional hardware.
The new antennas have 4.3-10 female connectors and offer low passive intermodulation, ensuring that the signal quality remains high and stable.
Additionally, KP’s RET antennas are designed to cover global 5G bands in 1710-2690 MHz or 694-960 MHz omni, making them ideal for use in a wide range of applications.
“Our new RET antennas offer real-time adjustments to the antenna's radiation pattern, enabling network operators to optimize network performance. These products can withstand harsh weather and offer high-gain performance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications,” said Kevin Hietpas, Antenna Product Line Manager.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
