The L-com LCANED1012 3 dBi folded dipole antenna, with N female connector, is an economical yet high-performance antenna designed for high-power applications. This folded dipole antenna can output frequencies from 136 to 174 MHz, which is useful for military communications, trunking, public safety, industrial communication, and amateur radio applications. The folded dipole antenna™s beamwidth can be adjusted according to applications by fixing dipoles at certain heights and directions. This high gain 3 dBi antenna transmits high-power signals, increasing the signal strength and thus providing improved coverage, better-broadcast control, and faster speed.
L-com's LCANED1012 folded dipole antenna is a dipole stand-alone made of aluminum alloy, and thus packaging, transportation, and installation become easier. It has a 1.5 VSWR that results in the best power transfer and reduced losses. This 136 to 174 MHz VHF/UHF antenna is one of the simplest and most widely used antenna producing radiation patterns like that of an electric dipole. It comes with a threaded and weatherproof N female connector type which ensuring a reliable physical connection and can be fixed on a pole using the U-bolt brackets that come with the antenna.
This folded dipole antenna uses vertical polarization to transmit signals, thus reducing interference and performing better at lower heights. The folded dipole antenna has 1 port to connect an external circuit with 100W maximum input power per port. All components of this 3 dBi antenna are DC grounded for lightning protection, rugged outdoor design, and have a high-power handling capacity .
This antenna with a 3 dBi maximum gain is ideal for LMR, military, airports, construction, mining, commercial applications, and radio users.
