Overview

The CompleTech CA160C4 is a high-gain offset pattern collinear antenna engineered for reliable VHF communication in the 154-166 MHz frequency range. With a measured gain of 11 dBi and vertical polarization, this antenna delivers strong signal transmission and reception for industrial, telecom, and public safety applications. The triangular feed design enables field-adjustable radiation patterns, while optional beam tilting provides flexibility for optimized coverage in challenging environments. Key specifications include a 50-ohm impedance, VSWR <1.5, and a robust wind load rating of 228 N, ensuring stable performance in harsh conditions. The copper radiator, enclosed in a UV-resistant ABS/FG PU foam radome (IP67 rated), offers exceptional durability and weather resistance. The antenna mounts securely to 35-60 mm diameter poles using an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts. Additional features include DC short-circuited feed points for lightning protection, integrated impedance compensation, and an RF choke for reduced interference. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +80°C, making it suitable for outdoor deployments in extreme climates. The N-/TNC-female connector ensures compatibility with a wide range of radio equipment. Ideal for applications such as land mobile radio (LMR), SCADA systems, and emergency communication networks, the CA160C4 combines lightweight construction with low wind load for minimal structural stress. All electromechanics are molded within closed-cell PU foam, eliminating internal corrosion risks and extending service life.
