• MIMO/MANET Networks: Flexible gooseneck allows precise orientation adjustments to support multi-antenna polarization diversity.
• Data Links: Provides continuous coverage across the L and S bands for mobile data transmission.

Deployment Environments

Designed for field deployment on handheld radios, manpacks, and mobile platforms. The radiator is housed in a rigid plastic tube and built to MIL-STD-810G specifications for durability in challenging operational environments.

Performance Metrics

The antenna operates continuously across 1900 to 2700 MHz, maintaining an optimal 50-ohm impedance match for connected transceivers. It safely handles up to 25 W CW input power and produces a positive gain peaking near 3 to 4 dBi.

Setup & Portability

Weighing only 65 grams, the antenna minimizes the burden on handheld or manpack systems. It consists of a connector unit, a bendable gooseneck, and the dipole radiator, attaching directly to compatible hardware via a standard TNC male connector.

Compatibility

Compatible with handheld and manpack radios featuring a TNC female interface and operating within the 1900 to 2700 MHz band. It is optimized for integration into multi-antenna MIMO systems requiring independent spatial or polarization adjustments.

FAQs

• How does a flexible gooseneck assist in MIMO systems? MIMO networks benefit from independent signal paths. A bendable gooseneck allows operators to alter the electric-field orientation of each antenna, maximizing polarization diversity and improving link reliability.
• What radiation pattern is typical for a basic dipole antenna? A standard dipole typically exhibits an omnidirectional radiation pattern shaped like a donut. Verify the specific measured elevation and azimuth patterns in the manufacturer datasheet to confirm spatial coverage.
• What must be verified before transmitting through a tactical antenna? Confirm that the transmitter's maximum continuous power output does not exceed the antenna's rated power handling. Operating beyond safe limits or with mismatched impedance can cause damaging reflected power.
• Problems we solve: how do we narrow antenna choices? Balancing operating bands, coverage needs and mounting space can make antenna selection difficult. Share those constraints with Cyntony to compare candidate antennas and identify what needs manufacturer confirmation (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what did Cyntony's tactical-link field test establish? Cyntony's 2025 XTND-DIRECT field test showed how terrain, antenna height and clearance affected a specific mesh-radio link. The result informs deployment questions; it does not establish range, throughput or suitability for this product (Field-test account).
