CA160B2

The CompleTech CA160B2 is a bidirectional broadside antenna engineered for reliable operation within the 154-166 MHz frequency range. This antenna delivers a consistent 6 dBi gain and features vertical polarization, ensuring effective signal transmission and reception for critical industrial, telemetry, and wireless communication systems. Constructed with a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome and filled with PU foam, the CA160B2 offers robust protection against environmental factors, maintaining performance across a wide temperature range of -40ºC to +80ºC. The radiator is made of durable copper for superior conductivity. It boasts a VSWR of less than 1.5, minimizing signal reflection and maximizing power transfer efficiency. Connectivity is facilitated by versatile N-female and TNC-female connectors. Mounting is straightforward, accommodating poles with a diameter of 35-60 mm using an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts. The antenna is designed with DC short-circuiting for lightning protection. Its IP67 rating signifies complete protection against dust and immersion in water, making it suitable for challenging outdoor installations. The CA160B2 is a frequency-independent design, benefiting from integrated impedance compensation and an RF choke for optimal performance. With a wind load rating of 114 N, it is built to withstand significant wind forces. This antenna is part of CompleTech's range of communication antennas, known for their durability, lightweight construction, and low wind load characteristics.
