SBA2458XDB is a high-gain, dual-band switched beam antenna that is particularly suitable for drone detection and jamming applications up to 100W in the WiFi bands.

The SBA2458XDB antenna beam can be switched by remote control to achieve optimal gain and sensitivity in the desired direction for point-to-point (P2P) or point to multi-point (P2MP) communications.  The sharp beams also avoid interference and monitoring from unwanted directions for low-probability of interference and low-probability of detection (LPI/LPD). 

The antenna provides up to 20 sharp beams up to 15 dBi with a minimum of 20-degree beamwidth to cover the full 360-degrees of azimuth.

  • Great directivity with fast beam switching, as fast as microseconds
  • Many standard and advanced beam modes available
  • High power handling, up to 100 W
  • RS-485 or Ethernet control
