DIPOLE and BLADE Antennas

Dipoles are balanced and independent of ground plane
Bandwidths up to 8%, although designs up to 20% are possible with a maximum VSWR 2:1
Finished in abrasion resistant, rubberised coating.

Frequency range 300MHz to 12GHz, gain typically 2dBi with elevation HPBW 80°
Primary application - 360° omni directional coverage in the horizontal plane
Suitable for rugged environments, slimline dipoles are flexible, rugged dipoles have rigid glass fibre radomes.
Blade antennas suitable where a 2mm thick fully efficient antenna is needed and can be housed in protective radomes.

* Typical radiation pattern for 2dBi dipole antenna


OMNI Antennas, VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL polarisation

Centre fed to ensure peak gain remains on the horizon at all frequencies to provide stable, ground-plane independent radiation patterns
Frequencies up to 18GHz, gain measurements up to 11dBi
Lightweight, with full environmental protection using rugged, glass fibre radomes and aluminium spigots
Multiple omni antennas in single structure for high isolation
XVO models have corporate feed structure to provide wider bandwidth and other critical features such as null-fill, electrical downtilt and side lobe suppression
XHO models have horizontal polarisation

* Relative size of omni antennas, different gain, same frequency.

 

 

OMNI Antennas CIRCULAR polarisation

Omni directional antennas have peak gain in the azimuth plane, whereas hemi omnis have peak gain overhead.
RCO models have circular polarisation
HOA hemi omni antennas
Designs for helicopter and UAV applications
Frequencies up to 18GHz.
Left or right hand circular polarisation, gain from 2dBiC to 18dBiC
Bandwidths up to 15%
*Typical elevation patterns of circular polarised antennas. .
*Relative size of RCO or HOA antennas different gain, same frequency
