UHF Corner Reflectors
Rugged UHF corner reflector antennas designed for medium-gain point-to-point or sector communications in harsh weather conditions. Offering broad bandwidth, high front-to-back ratios, low side lobes, and minimal ice detuning, these antennas feature a Series 6000 aluminium reflector framework with black powder coating to assist ice shedding. The driven element is housed in a UV-protected PVC radome to help minimise precipitation static, and each antenna is supplied with a 2 m RG213 coax tail.
Models PRO-CRU8 & PRO-CRU11
The corner reflector is a medium gain antenna for point to point, or sector communications. Designed as a rugged antenna it maintains its characteristics under harsh weather conditions.
Corner reflector antennas offer the following advantages:
· a broad bandwidth
· high front-to-back ratios
· low side lobes
· minimal de-tuning effect by ice
Series 6000 aluminium extrusion is utilised in the fabrication of the reflector framework. This framework is finished in a black powder coating to assist ice shedding. The support clamps for the framework are 63mm cast aluminium, these enable the antenna to be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal mode.
The driven element is housed in a UV protected PVC radome to minimise the effect of precipitation static.
As a standard, the corner reflectors are fitted with a 2m RG213 tail. The antenna is supplied on site as a knock down kit.
Items supplied for a PRO-CRU11 are 2 x PRO-CRU8 and 1 x power divider (PD2)
