CA170B2

The CompleTech CA170B2 is a bidirectional broadside antenna designed for reliable communication in the 163-177 MHz frequency range. This antenna delivers a consistent 6 dBi gain with vertical polarization, ensuring efficient signal transmission and reception for critical industrial and telecommunication applications. Its construction features a durable ABS/FG PU foam radome for environmental protection and a copper radiator for optimal conductivity. The CA170B2 is equipped with an N-/TNC-female connector, providing a secure and standard connection. A low VSWR of less than 1.5 minimizes signal reflection and loss, contributing to overall system performance. Installation is straightforward, with mounting capabilities for poles ranging from 35 to 60 mm in diameter. The antenna is built to withstand wind loads of up to 110 N, ensuring stability in various outdoor conditions. This antenna is an ideal choice for applications requiring bidirectional communication, such as SCADA systems, telemetry, and private mobile radio networks where consistent signal integrity is paramount. Its specific frequency band makes it suitable for licensed and unlicensed communication services operating within this spectrum. The CompleTech CA170B2 (SKU: CA170B2) offers a dependable solution for extending communication range and improving signal quality in challenging environments. The use of copper for the radiator ensures excellent electrical performance and longevity. The robust radome material protects the internal components from moisture, dust, and UV exposure, extending the operational life of the antenna. The specified mounting diameter range accommodates common pole sizes found in industrial installations. The wind load rating indicates its resilience to environmental stresses. This antenna is a practical component for any system requiring robust and efficient bidirectional radio communication.
