Overview

The CompleTech CA450B2 is a bidirectional broadside antenna engineered for robust wireless communication solutions operating within the 440-475 MHz frequency range. This antenna is characterized by its 6 dBi gain, which facilitates strong signal propagation, and its vertical polarization, ensuring efficient signal transmission and reception. These attributes make it well-suited for demanding applications including industrial telemetry, SCADA systems, and security monitoring where reliable data transfer is paramount. The core of the CA450B2’s performance lies in its radiator, meticulously constructed from copper to guarantee optimal conductivity and signal integrity. For enhanced durability and protection against environmental elements, the antenna is housed within a radome composed of ABS and FG PU foam. A key performance metric, the VSWR, is maintained at less than 1.5, a critical factor for maximizing power transfer efficiency and minimizing detrimental signal reflections. Connectivity is facilitated by a versatile N-/TNC-female connector, offering broad compatibility with a wide array of radio systems and infrastructure. Installation is designed for simplicity and security, accommodating poles with a diameter ranging from 35 mm to 60 mm. Furthermore, the CA450B2 is built to withstand outdoor conditions, featuring a wind load rating of 64 N, which ensures stability and reliable operation even in exposed installations. This antenna presents a practical and dependable choice for fixed wireless deployments requiring consistent performance within its specified frequency band. Manufacturer: CompleTech. SKU: CA450B2.
