Compact transmitting/receiving antenna especially designed for mobile applications

The R&S®HK056 Broadband Mobile Antenna covers the extremely broad frequency range from 600 MHz to 3000 MHz. It is designed for transmission and reception purposes in mobile and semi-stationary communication scenarios.

The antenna is designed as a combination of two lambda/2-dipoles, which are interconnected via a steep-edge diplexer. As a result, the excellent broadband electrical characteristics can be achieved without the use of any additional tuning or performance-reducing attenuation measures. An N-type RF connector is integrated at the antenna base.

The antenna is installed via a standard "NATO" 4-hole flange, which provides for easy integration in numerous existing systems.
