1065-031

Southwest Antennas Part # 1065-031 is a right hand circularly polarized (RHCP) directional patch antenna that is designed to be light weight and easily worn and hidden in tactical clothing such as tactical vests or MOLLE gear. This body worn antenna is ideal for use in multi-antenna MIMO / MANET radio applications such as handheld and small form factor body worn tactical radios.
The antenna's directional RHCP radiation pattern and axial ratio below 3 dB offers robust network connections, and allows radios to connect even when not directly facing one another or within clear line-of-site. With an operating frequency range covering 1.35 - 1.39 GHz this product is ideal for military / Department of Defense radio communication systems. Extensive field testing has shown that these antennas provides superior RF performance, ensure long range radio communication links, and provide high data rate throughput when used with MANET / MIMO self-forming, self-healing radio networks, or SISO radio systems.
Weighing only 3.4 ounces, #1065-031 features a high performance stainless steel SMA(f) RF connector and waterproof, UV stable radome that can withstand immersion in 20-meters (65.6 ft.) of salt water for two hours if the RF connector is mated or sealed with a protective end cap.
In addition to body-worn applications, the free space performance of this antenna makes it ideal for many field applications in point-to-point or multi-antenna mesh configurations, including fixed site infrastructure and mobile antenna applications.
