Overview

The CompleTech CA230C4 is an offset pattern collinear antenna engineered for reliable operation within the 221-239 MHz frequency range. This antenna features a significant 11 dBi gain, ensuring robust signal reception and transmission capabilities. Its vertical polarization is optimized for specific communication scenarios. The construction incorporates a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome with PU foam filling, providing durability and protection against environmental factors. The radiator is constructed from copper for optimal conductivity. Designed for versatility, the CA230C4 supports both N-female and TNC-female connectors, offering flexible integration into existing systems. It maintains a low VSWR of less than 1.5, which minimizes signal reflection and maximizes power transfer efficiency. Mounting is facilitated by an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts, compatible with poles ranging from 35 to 60 mm in diameter. The antenna is DC short-circuited for lightning protection and operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C, boasting an IP67 ingress protection rating for dust and water resistance. The CA230C4 is built to withstand a wind load of 180 N, ensuring stability in challenging conditions. Additional features include integrated impedance compensation and an integrated RF choke. This antenna is suitable for applications requiring dependable communication in the specified frequency band.
