RFI COL45-420 UHF Meander Collinear Antenna, 400-420 MHz
7dBd high-gain patented Meander PCB collinear with industry-leading PIM performance.
Overview
The COL45-420 is a high-gain UHF Meander Collinear antenna covering 400-420MHz, using RFI's patented Meander PCB design that allows multiple half-wave elements to be stacked without the cable length and mechanical joint variations that typify conventional high-gain collinear construction. With dipole elements printed on a single-sided PCB, susceptibility to passive intermodulation is practically eliminated.
This range is specifically designed for wireless applications requiring long-lasting and consistent, high performance, such as telemetry and PTP/PTMP systems. The antenna is internally DC grounded for lightning protection and reduction of precipitation noise.
Key Features
- 7dBd (9.1dBi) gain means strong omnidirectional coverage across the full 400-420MHz band.
- Patented Meander PCB design means optimum RF pattern stability and repeatability.
- Industry-leading PIM rating (-150dBc) means low intermodulation and low noise for optimum network performance.
- 25kW Peak Instantaneous Power rating means suitability for high-power multi-carrier deployments.
- 4.3-10 connector means a low-PIM, weatherproof termination for base station use.
Applications
- Telemetry and PTP/PTMP systems requiring long-lasting, consistent performance
- Base station sites requiring low-PIM, high-gain collinear antennas
- Multi-carrier UHF deployments in the 400-420MHz band
- Sites where consistent, repeatable RF pattern performance is critical
