CA160C3

The CompleTech CA160C3 is a high-gain offset pattern collinear antenna engineered for reliable VHF communication in the 154-166 MHz band. Designed with a 10 dBi gain and vertical polarization, this antenna delivers strong signal reception and transmission for industrial, commercial, and public safety applications such as land mobile radio, SCADA systems, and emergency communication networks. The copper radiator ensures optimal RF performance, while the UV-resistant ABS/FG radome with PU foam filling provides superior weather resistance and IP67-rated protection against dust and moisture ingress. The antenna features a low VSWR of less than 1.5, minimizing signal loss and maximizing efficiency. Compatible with N-female or TNC-female connectors, the CA160C3 supports secure and reliable connectivity. The robust aluminum alloy mounting bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts accommodates pole diameters from 35-60 mm, ensuring versatile installation options. With a wind load rating of 171 N and a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, the CA160C3 is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Additional features include a DC-short circuited feed point for lightning protection, integrated impedance compensation, and an RF choke for improved signal integrity. The frequency-independent design combines durability, light weight, and low wind load, making it ideal for fixed and mobile installations where reliability and performance are critical.
