Rugged antenna covers
multiple popular frequency bands in a single product
 San Diego, California, February 16, 2018
- Southwest Antennas, an industry leader in rugged RF / Microwave antenna and accessory
products, has released a
new line of tri-band antenna solutions designed to cover several
popular sub-bands across the L, S, and C Bands.
These omni-directional antennas are tuned for high performance operation in
the following frequencies:
· 1.70 - 1.85 GHz
· 2.2 - 2.5 GHz
· 4.4 - 5.0 GHz
For users who expect to utilize these bands or deploy multi-band radio systems, tri-band
antennas can reduce the amount of kit required for deployment, helping to reduce carry
weight, overall cost, and system complexity. These antennas are ideal for use with body-worn
tactical radio systems, mobile robotics platforms and control systems, MIMO / MANET mesh
radio systems, urban area mesh network deployments, broadcast video systems, and more.
The new tri-band antennas are designed to withstand deployments in harsh operating
environments around the world, with rugged construction and a matte black finish with
black chrome RF connectors for low-visibility operations.
Two antenna base options are available:
1. Ultra-Flex weatherproof sealed spring base,
which allows the antenna to bend and flex upon impact and minimize risk of damage to
mated RF connectors.
2. Integrated RF coaxial gooseneck, which can
bend and hold the antenna in non-vertical positions.
To improve antenna performance and operator usability, these antennas feature rugged
cylindrical fiberglass radomes. The cylinder shape provides the antenna additional strength
and eliminating issues where “paddle” shaped antennas can't lie flat. This mechanical
design coupled with proprietary antenna tuning technique ensures excellent performance
and antenna efficiency across the three bands.
These new antennas are available in the following base and RF connector choices:
