ANTENNAS
Cellular/GSM/ISM Dual Linear Antennas
These cellular/GSM/ISM dual linear antennas feature a low profile design for minimum visual impact, making them suitable for discreet antenna installations. The units provide for simultaneous reception and transmission of both vertically and horizontally linearly polarized signals in the 824 to 896 GHz, 880 to 960 GHz and 902 to 928 GHz frequency bands. The antennas consist of a single broadband microstrip patch that provides 8 dBi gain with nominal 65° x 70° half-power beamwidth. The units have an SWR of 1.5 and impedance of 50 W. The antennas combine good RF performance in a discrete and stylish antenna housing that can be mounted easily in most situations. The antenna housing is vacuumed formed out of thermoplastic in a rugged, UV-stabilized radome that is weather resistant for outdoor applications. Size: 12.00" x 12.00" x 1.75".

2 - 40 GHz Direction-finding Antenna Assembly
The model MF390-183 low profile direction-finding antenna assembly operates from 2 to 40 GHz and consists of three bands: 2 to 6 GHz, 6 to 18 GHz and 18 to 40 GHz. The 2 to 6 GHz band utilizes an eight-element horn array design; the 6 to 18 GHz and 18 to 40 GHz antennas are single broadband horns. The assembly can fit into a 24" dia space with a maximum height of less than 9". In addition, the unit can perform rotating direction finding when it is mounted on a rotator. The low profile characteristics of the antenna assembly make it suitable for mobile, airborne or shipboard applications. Weight: 25 lb.
