Overview

The CompleTech CA420B2 is a bidirectional broadside antenna specifically engineered to operate within the 405-440 MHz frequency range. This antenna is designed to provide a consistent and reliable signal performance, offering a gain of 6 dBi. It features vertical polarization, which is crucial for effective signal transmission and reception across various industrial, telemetry, and wireless communication systems. The construction of the CA420B2 incorporates a robust radome made from ABS/FG PU foam, a material chosen for its durability and ability to protect the internal copper radiator from environmental elements. For connectivity, the antenna is equipped with an N-/TNC-female connector, ensuring a secure and dependable interface for system integration. A key performance metric of the CA420B2 is its VSWR, which is rated at less than 1.5. This low VSWR is instrumental in minimizing signal reflection and thereby optimizing the efficiency of power transfer, leading to improved overall system performance. Installation of the CA420B2 is designed to be straightforward, with mounting capabilities for poles that have a diameter ranging from 35 to 60 mm. Furthermore, the antenna is built to withstand outdoor conditions, as evidenced by its wind load rating of 66 N, which ensures stability even in exposed installations. The CompleTech CA420B2 is an ideal solution for applications demanding reliable communication within the 405-440 MHz frequency band, including industrial automation, remote monitoring, and the deployment of wireless infrastructure. Its dependable performance and robust construction make it suitable for challenging operational environments. Manufacturer: CompleTech. SKU: CA420B2. UNSPSC Code: 43221706.
