The AD-10/E is a robust wideband UHF/SHF dipole antenna, engineered for reliable performance in fixed-site base station applications. It covers an extensive frequency range from 400 to 6000 MHz, making it suitable for a diverse set of communication and monitoring needs.
Constructed with an aluminum attachment pipe and a radiating element protected by a composite tube, the antenna is designed for durability. Its black, two-component UV-resistant PU paint ensures long-term environmental resistance and appearance. Connectivity is facilitated via an N-female coaxial connector, and a specialized mounting console adapter simplifies installation on masts up to 60 mm in diameter.
The AD-10/E is primarily intended for fixed-site base station use. Its wideband capabilities support a variety of communication and monitoring applications within the UHF/SHF spectrum.
This antenna is designed for deployment in diverse outdoor conditions, capable of withstanding temperatures from -50°C to +55°C and wind speeds up to 55 m/s (200 km/h). Its durable construction, including a composite material protective tube and UV-resistant paint, ensures reliability in various environmental settings.
Installation is designed for simplicity, featuring easy mast mounting. The antenna includes an attachment pipe (40 mm diameter aluminum) and a special mounting console adapter that accommodates masts with diameters up to 60 mm. The antenna measures 590 mm in height, has a diameter of 78 mm, and weighs 3.1 kg, facilitating manageable deployment for fixed installations.
The AD-10/E features a standard N-female coaxial connector for interfacing with RF systems and is designed for systems requiring a 50-ohm impedance match. Its mounting console adapter is compatible with masts up to 60 mm in diameter.
The reviewed product data identifies the AD-10/E as a wideband UHF/SHF dipole antenna, categorized as an omni antenna, supporting vertical polarization.
For omnidirectional antennas in general, they are designed to radiate and receive signals equally in all horizontal directions. This makes them suitable for applications where coverage across a 360-degree azimuth is required, without needing to reorient the antenna. For the current product, it is specified as an Omni Antenna.
When selecting an omnidirectional antenna, consider the required frequency of operation, the maximum continuous power the transmitter will output, and the maximum VSWR the transmitter can tolerate. The platform to which the antenna will mount is also important; for fixed-site and portable applications, dipoles are often considered. Additionally, the desired gain and radiation characteristics, and the antenna's form factor (size, weight, and mounting details) are key. For the current product, the reviewed product data lists a frequency range of 400-6000 MHz, specific power handling, VSWR less than 2.5, and a fixed-site platform. The form factor includes dimensions of 590 mm height, 78 mm diameter, and 3.1 kg weight, with mast mounting up to 60 mm diameter.
For omnidirectional antennas, higher gain typically means the radiated power is more focused, usually resulting in a narrower beamwidth in the elevation plane. It's important to note that higher gain doesn't increase the total power radiated by the antenna but rather concentrates it in specific directions. Omnidirectional gains typically range from 0 to 2 dBi for standard dimensions, though wideband omnis can have lower gain at the low end of their frequency range. For the current product, the reviewed product data lists a gain ranging from -2 to +4 dBi.
