The CompleTech CA85C2 is an offset pattern collinear antenna engineered for reliable performance in the 83-88 MHz frequency band. This antenna features a vertical polarization and delivers a substantial 8 dBi gain, ensuring effective signal transmission and reception. Its construction incorporates a durable copper radiator and a UV-resistant ABS/FG radome filled with PU foam, providing excellent weather resistance and longevity. The antenna is designed for a VSWR of less than 1.5, indicating efficient power transfer. Mounting is facilitated by an aluminium alloy bracket with stainless steel V-bolts, compatible with poles ranging from 35-60 mm in diameter. The CA85C2 is rated for a wind load of 168 N and operates within a wide temperature range of -40ºC to +80ºC. Its IP67 rating signifies complete protection against dust ingress and immersion in water. The connector type is N-female or TNC-female, offering versatile connectivity options. Key features include a DC-short circuited feed point for lightning protection, integrated impedance compensation, and an integrated RF choke. The H -3 dB beamwidth is 181º, and the E -3 dB beamwidth is 27º, with a front-to-back ratio of 5-10 dB depending on mounting. This antenna is suitable for industrial, telecommunication, and broadcasting applications requiring dependable communication in the specified frequency range.
