 Model AC12-450 406 - 512 MHz. 12 dBi. Gain 
 

FIBER GLASS COLLINEAR ANTENNA

Design Features : AC12-450 UHF Fiberglass Omni-directional Collinear Antenna is rugged all weather model uses high class brass and aluminum alloy and does not require any field tuning or adjustments. The antenna is supplied in two segments for easy of handling and shipping. The upper and lower portion of antenna is threaded together to prevent RF inter-modulation and antenna is completely protected within a high-tech ruggedized radome to ensure survivability in the worst environments. The antenna termination is enclosed at bottom of the antenna for complete weather protection.

Constructions : The AC12-450 is a center fed design which eliminates the distortion of the radiation pattern and ensures a true omni-directional horizontal pattern. The special stub matching is used for smooth VSWR and constant gain over the specified frequency band. The collinear antenna consist of large diameter brass radiating elements stacked vertically, fed in phase and enclosed in fiber glass tube. AC12-450 fiber glass collinear antenna is suitable for side mounting on the tower and is supplied with mounting hardware, including a non metallic 1.2 Meters (4 feet) long horizontal arm to hold the fiberglass omni-directional antenna at the top, on the side of antenna tower.
