| AC6-450 | UHF High Gain Fiber Glass Collinear | 406–512MHz | 6 dBi. |  |  |  |
The AC6-450 is a professional-grade UHF fiberglass omnidirectional collinear antenna designed for the 406–512 MHz frequency range. This model features a center-fed design to provide a true 360 degrees horizontal radiation pattern and is engineered for tactical and fixed-station applications. With an IP66 rating and full MIL-STD-810G environmental hardening, it ensures mission-critical reliability in the most punishing operational environments.
Precision Omnidirectional Coverage
The AC6-450 utilizes vertically stacked, large-diameter brass radiating elements fed in phase to achieve a 6 dBi gain. Its center-fed architecture is a critical design feature that eliminates pattern distortion and ensures a true, circular horizontal footprint. With a balanced 38-degree vertical beam-width, the antenna provides excellent regional coverage, making it suitable for varying terrain where a razor-thin beam might "overshoot" nearby receivers.
Tactical Structural Hardening
Encased in a high-tech ruggedized fiberglass radome with a UV-resistant ABS finish, the antenna is built to withstand extreme mechanical stress. All internal junctions are fully welded to prevent RF inter-modulation (PIM), ensuring signal purity in RF-dense environments. The standard Olive Green military finish provides tactical concealment, making it ideal for defense and secure government infrastructure.
MIL-SPEC Environmental Resilience
This model is fully compliant with MIL-STD-810G standards and carries an IP66 rating for superior protection against dust and high-pressure water jets. It is resistant to salt fog, fungus, driving rain, and extreme thermal stress. Its structural integrity is verified through high-intensity shock and vibration testing, ensuring stable performance in forward operating bases or harsh industrial zones.
