CA80GP

The CompleTech CA80GP is an omnidirectional ground plane antenna designed for reliable operation in the 77-81 MHz frequency range. Engineered by CompleTech, this antenna (SKU: CA80GP) offers a consistent 2 dBi gain with vertical polarization, ensuring effective signal transmission and reception for critical industrial and telecommunications applications. Its construction features a durable copper radiator and a UV-resistant FG/PP radome filled with PU foam, providing robust protection against environmental factors. The antenna is rated IP67, signifying its resistance to dust and water ingress, and operates reliably within a wide temperature range of -40ºC to +80ºC. A key specification is its low VSWR of less than 1.5, which minimizes signal reflection and loss, thereby maximizing system efficiency. The CA80GP utilizes N-female/TNC-female connectors for secure and stable connections. Mounting is facilitated by an aluminum alloy bracket compatible with poles ranging from 35-60 mm in diameter, secured with stainless steel V-bolts and self-locking nuts. For lightning protection, the feed point is DC-short circuited and DC-grounded. The antenna is designed to withstand a wind load of 70 N. This antenna is an ideal choice for applications requiring dependable omnidirectional coverage in the 77-81 MHz band, such as industrial monitoring, public safety communications, and specialized telemetry systems where consistent performance and environmental resilience are paramount.
