CA-1079 Series Low Power VHF / UHF Multichannel Antennas

Use of this antenna in multichannel communications systems can substantially reduce the total space requirements and significantly improve the overall system performance.

CA-1079 is intended to provide interference-free ground-to-air and ground-to-ground communications. Because of its inherent broadband characteristics, the unit is relatively insensitive to its mounting location and the surrounding environment. It has been designed to meet MIL-STD-167, Type I Vibration; and the Service Conditions of MIL-STD-810B (operating temperature -40° to +55°C).
