Military - Link16 Antennas
4.7GHz > Link16 > UAV > Ultra Wide Band
The Link16 band is 960 to 1275MHz. Our extended performance, broadband omni antennas are used for terrestrial and naval applications, communicating with airborne platforms.
With the bandwidth of the system and limited transmit power from the aircraft, longer ranges are achieved by providing higher gain on the ground for receive bands.
We have a high power 2dBi gain omni, model XPO2V-500-1300/034 that has been used for marine applications by the UK Navy and a broadband dipole, EVD2-90-1215/004 that has nominal 0dBi gain and moderate power for short range applications.
The product list for this application includes a 4dBi gain omni that provides 'intermediate' range, size and elevation beamwidth that can be used for both marine and ground applications.
Sector antennas are now available for Link16 applications.
All of our Link16 antennas are rugged, designed for extremes of weather and temperature and have been combat tested in conditions without affecting the performance or inhibiting mission requirements
