RFI CD63-71-50 UHF Antenna is truly ground independent and allows unconventional mounting positions. Its exclusive high impedance matching circuit in the base coil ensures extraordinary 6.0 dB gain. This allows the end feeding of the collinear whip section, a 5/8 over 1/2 wave radiator wound from a single piece of high resilience 17-7PH stainless steel. This antenna is go-to solution for reliable and stylish communication.
Mopole antennas such as the CD63-71-50 have been shown to exhibit a 6 dB improvement in received signal level in the field when compared to a ¼ wave whip, however in pattern tests exhibit only 1.5 to 2 dB over a ¼ wave (equivalent to 1.5-2 dBq). This improvement in performance can be attributed to a lower radiation angle level of these ground independent antennas.
Product Features:
- With RFI CD63-71-50 UHF Antenna, you can achieve ground independence with flexible mounting options such as vehicle mirrors, gutters, or roof bar mounts, providing freedom from traditional roof mount constraints.
- Experience outstanding signal reception with a remarkable 6 dBi gain, surpassing the performance of standard ¼ wave whip antennas when installed at the center of a metal roof.
- The resilient Stainless Steel Whip5/8 over 1/2 wave radiator maintains its original shape even after bending, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
- Built to withstand tough conditions, the base coil is encased in high-impact thermoplastic molding, offering virtually indestructible durability.
- Sleek Design
- Enjoy hassle-free connections with a 5m RG58C/U cable terminated with an FME female connector, along with an included FME to UHF adaptor.
- Mounting Options: Choose from two mounting styles for your convenience – the removable MBC style (CD63-71-53) or the threaded stud and nut option (CD63-71-73).
