CompleTech CA340B2 bidirectional broadside - Frequency range: 326-353 MHz - Gain: 6 dBi - Polarization…

The CompleTech CA340B2 is a bidirectional broadside antenna designed for reliable communication in the 326-353 MHz frequency range. Engineered by CompleTech, this antenna (SKU: CA340B2) offers a consistent 6 dBi gain with vertical polarization, ensuring efficient signal transmission and reception for critical applications. Its robust construction features a copper radiator, providing excellent conductivity, and a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome filled with PU foam, offering durability and weather resistance with an IP67 rating. The antenna is equipped with N-female and TNC-female connectors for secure connectivity and boasts a VSWR of less than 1.5, minimizing signal reflection and maximizing performance. Designed for straightforward installation, the CA340B2 mounts onto poles with a diameter of 35-60 mm using an aluminum alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts. Its lightning protection is achieved through DC short-circuiting. Operating within a wide temperature range of -40ºC to +80ºC, this antenna is suitable for diverse environmental conditions. The bidirectional broadside radiation pattern, with an H -3 dB beamwidth of 71º and an E -3 dB beamwidth of 69º, makes it ideal for applications requiring two-way communication, such as wireless networks, industrial IoT deployments, and telemetry systems. The antenna's design prioritizes durability, lightweight construction, and a low wind load of 72 N, further enhancing its suitability for various installations. Key frequency-independent features include a radome-enclosed radiator, IP67 proof construction, electromechanics molded inside closed-cell PU foam, a DC shorted feed point, integrated impedance compensation, and an integrated RF choke, all contributing to its dependable operation.
