CA170D

The CompleTech CA170D is an offset pattern dipole antenna engineered for reliable operation within the 163-177 MHz frequency range. This antenna delivers a consistent 5 dBi gain, supporting both vertical and horizontal polarization for versatile communication setups. Its robust construction features a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome with PU foam filling, ensuring durability and protection against environmental factors. The radiator is crafted from high-conductivity copper, contributing to optimal signal performance. Designed for ease of installation, the CA170D accommodates pole diameters from 35 to 60 mm using an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts. It boasts a VSWR of less than 1.5, minimizing signal loss and maximizing transmission efficiency. The antenna is rated for a wind load of 55 N, providing stability in challenging weather conditions. Connectivity is flexible, with options for N-, TNC-, and 7/16-female connectors. This antenna is IP67 rated, offering protection against dust and water ingress, and operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. The CA170D is suitable for various industrial, telecommunications, and broadcast applications requiring dependable performance in the specified frequency band. Its dual-band operation capability and integrated RF choke further enhance its utility in complex RF environments. The DC-short circuited feed point provides lightning protection.
