Spectrum Control Patch Antennas

Spectrum Control Patch Antennas provide flexibility and versatility with a small footprint and low profile. These antennas are mounted on an optimized ground plane with a pigtail cable to a connector, which is tuned and packaged for the plastic radome that covers the complete assembly. The standard cable is RG-316 to MMCX or SMA connectors. Spectrum Control Patch Antennas offer 50Ω impedance and are temperature stable (-40°C to +105°C). Typical applications include Satcom, asset tracking devices, portable defibrillators, directional finders, remote meter reading, down-hole drilling, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, surveying equipment, and much more.
