| AY-2450 | ISM Band High Gain Yagi Antenna | 2300-2600MHz | 13 dBi |  |  |  |
The AY-2450 is a professional-grade, high-gain directional Yagi antenna engineered for the 2300–2600 MHz (2.4 GHz) S-band spectrum. Delivering a robust 13 dBi (11 dBd) gain, this antenna is optimized for long-distance Wi-Fi backhaul, ISM band telemetry, and specialized microwave links. Its ultra-compact, pre-assembled 0.5-meter design ensures rapid deployment and high survivability in extreme environmental conditions.
Precision Microwave Directivity
Operating at microwave frequencies requires high precision. The AY-2450 provides a sharp directional beam with a 44-degree horizontal and 38-degree vertical beam-width. Combined with an 18 dB Front-to-Back Ratio, this allows system engineers to establish clean, high-intensity links while effectively rejecting co-channel interference and background noise from the rear and sides.
Innovative Feed and Efficiency
The unique design of the AY-2450 utilizes a specialized matching feed system that acts as an internal impedance transformer. This eliminates the need for traditional folded dipoles, which can be inefficient at S-band frequencies. The results are a stable VSWR of better than 1.5:1 across a wide 200 MHz bandwidth. The feed point is enclosed in a ruggedized Nylon housing, protecting the sensitive driver element from moisture, ice, and salt spray.
Industrial-Grade Construction
Built for permanent outdoor installation, the antenna is constructed from high-quality 6063T6 architectural aluminum alloy. The radiating elements are permanently fixed to the 19 mm support boom, ensuring that the electrical alignment remains perfect even under high vibration or heavy wind loads. The antenna is factory-tuned and requires no field adjustments, providing "out-of-the-box" reliability.
