CAF96226(IDD5250-RS12)

RF antennas are basically used to send or receive electromagnetic signals in the form of radio waves. The CAF96226(IDD5250-RS12) is a high-performance, wideband antenna from the IDD500 series, designed to fulfill the needs of tactical or mobile operations in demanding environments. This antenna is an excellent solution for multi-band HF/VHF/UHF/L-band applications and has an operating frequency range of 30 MHz to 512 MHz.

The CAF96226 antenna is suitable for severe ambient conditions due to its waterproof and temperature-protected design. It is housed in a light-weight radome and has a low profile, which makes it an ideal choice for mountings on body armor, vehicles and other moving platforms. It is also beneficial for surveillance operations and comes with high gain and directivity, both in the azimuth and elevation planes.

The antenna is designed to have a very low noise figure and gain control, optimize the signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, it has a wide beam pattern for maximum coverage of the area of interest. This feature provides an improved range of coverage, making it an even more versatile antenna. The CAF96226(IDD5250-RS12) antenna also offers an easy-to-mount, low-profile form-factor and exceptional performance characteristics.

At the core of the antenna is a resonant cavity, consisting of a radiating element housed inside a shield that serves as a reflector. This resonant cavity is electrically connected to the antenna via an impedance matching section, providing a good match for the transmission line and the antenna. The antenna is designed to be self-resonant, which refers to the antenna’s ability to generate and maintain a constant resonance frequency. This is necessary for minimising the amount of harmonics and reducing signal distortion.

The CAF96226(IDD5250-RS12) antenna is capable of transmitting and receiving both analogue and digital signals. This allows for the transmission and reception of both audio and video signals simultaneously, making it an excellent choice for mission-critical operations. It also offers low latency, which means there is less delay between when the signal is transmitted and when it reaches its destination. Finally, the antenna has a wide beam width, meaning it can cover a wide area without needing to be pointed in any direction.

The CAF96226(IDD5250-RS12) is highly durable and water-resistant, making it suitable for use in harsh climates and demanding operational environments. Because of its low-profile design, it can be mounted on vehicles or body armor. It also strictly follows the military standards, performing above-average in high-performance applications. Offering good gain and directivity, wide frequency range, low-noise-figure and high EMC performance, the CAF96226(IDD5250-RS12) is a great choice for a wide variety of applications.
