Directional Antennas - Flat Panel (FPA) and Low Profile (LPA)
FLAT PANEL
High gain, up to 32dBi.
Narrow beam coverage in one direction.
Polarisation can be circular, linear or dual.
More efficient than an equivalent dish, lower sidelobes than helices.
Medium and high gain, from 10dBi to 23dBi. Gain of 32dBi has been achieved for special projects.
Frequency range from 250MHz to 18GHz.
Bandwidths from 6% to 15%.
Designs are slim and environmentally discreet, smaller than an equivalent horn.
High isolation dual polar designs.
Rugged housing for harsh environments.
Customised low cost integrated antennas.
*Relative size of antennas with different gain, same frequency.
LOW PROFILE
Low profile antennas feature the same benefits as flat panel antennas, but always have 7dBi gain and a 70° by 70° HPBW
*Typical radiation patterns for flat panels.
