BCA High Gain Sector Antennas
High gain sector antennas provide superior pattern and
gain performance in an efficient size and weight. Available
azimuth sizes include 45°, 60°, 90°, and 180° in either
horizontal or vertical polarization.
Product Features
•
High gain performance - 21 dBi @ 90°
•
Extensive null fill for uniform coverage
•
Equivalent pattern performance in both horizontal and
vertical polarizations
•
Broadband performance 26.35 - 31.3 GHz
•
Low VSWR across frequency band
•
Excellent intermodulation (IM) performance
•
Side-entry waveguide for easy integration
•
Optional mount available with elevation vernier for
downtilt adjustment of up to ±5°
