Military - Link16 Antennas

4.7GHz > Link16 > UAV > Ultra Wide Band

The Link16 band is 960 - 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.

All of our Link16 antennas are rugged, designed for extremes of weather and temperature and have been combat tested in battle conditions withou affecting the performance or inhibiting mission requirements

Filter for use with Link16 antennas

A high power (200W) band pass filter provides 35dB notches at the IFF frequencies 1030MHz and 1090MHz and band stop about 2GHz for protection against harmonics. The filter provides benefits where the IFF and Link16 equjipments are co-sited to help protect radios. The unit can be mounted externally although it can afford greater protection when close to the Link16 radio.
