Antenna Types & Theory

Ultra-Wideband

OMNI, MULTI-STACKED

Wideband omni antennas can be 'stacked' so that several antennas may be designed into a single housing

  • A single mounting point on any vehicle
  • New feed-through technology allows multiple antennas to be co-located
  • Ultra wideband omnis in a single package, for example 100MHz to 6GHz with two connectors
  • Overlapping frequencies for multipe applications and operational scenarios
  • High isolation between bands (17dBi minimum)
  • 200W per band simultaneously
  • Similar footprint to existing designs
  • Good return loss across all bands
  • Optional NATO spring mounting arrangements available


CAVITY BACKED PLANAR SPIRAL ANTENNAS

  • Very wideband: 0.5 to 4GHz, 2 to 18GHz
  • Can be used stand-alone or as part of a DF (Direction Finding) array
  • Phase and/or amplitude matched to provide accurate DF
  • Gain 0 to 5dBiC
  • Circular polarisation
  • HPBW 50° to 90° across the band


HIGH POWER SPIRAL ANTENNA

  • High power and ultra wideband
  • Directional, with gain up to 8dBiC
  • Circular polarisation provides better chance of jamming
  • Flat panel can be disguised if necessary
  • Bi-directional option


ULTRA WIDEBAND, EXTENDED PERFORMANCE, OMNI ANTENNAS

  • Biconical omnis are fully efficient, vertically polarised antennas
  • Depending on configuration, bandwidths from 3:1 to 30:1 are achievable
  • Frequencies from 100MHz to 18GHz
  • Ground plane independent
  • Vertically polarised
  • Elevation HPBW typically 30° to 60°
  • Gain is typically 0 to 2dBi across the band
  • High power
  • Excellent azimuth patterns
  • Peak gain on horizon across all bands
