CA930Q

The CompleTech CA930Q is a sleeve-fed quarter-wave whip antenna designed for reliable operation within the 880-960 MHz frequency range. This antenna offers a nominal gain of 2 dBi and features vertical polarization, ensuring efficient signal transmission and reception for various communication needs. Constructed with a durable PE (Polyethylene) radome and a copper radiator, the CA930Q is built to withstand environmental factors common in industrial and telecommunications deployments. The antenna utilizes an SMA-male connector, a standard interface for many RF systems, facilitating straightforward integration. It is designed for pole mounting with a specified diameter of - mm. The VSWR is rated at less than 1.5, indicating excellent impedance matching and minimal signal reflection across its operating band. This antenna is suitable for applications requiring dependable RF performance in the specified frequency spectrum, such as cellular base stations, IoT networks, and private mobile radio systems. The CA930Q, manufactured by CompleTech, complements their range of antennas, including dual-polarized omnidirectional models like the CA950S2Z1 and CA900S2Z1, and stacked array designs such as the CA950S3 and CA900S3, all operating within the 880-960 MHz band and often featuring copper construction and N-TNC/7/16-female connectors. The CA930Q's specific design as a quarter-wave whip with a sleeve feed provides a compact and effective solution for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication links where omnidirectional coverage is required. Its PE radome offers protection against moisture and UV exposure, contributing to its longevity in outdoor installations. The copper radiator ensures good conductivity for optimal signal propagation. The SMA-male connector provides a secure and reliable connection to coaxial cables and associated equipment. The specified VSWR of <1.5 is critical for maintaining signal integrity and maximizing power transfer from the transmitter to the antenna and from the antenna to the receiver. This specification is essential for applications where signal loss must be minimized.
