CD-400-1500: Ultra-Wideband Omni-Directional Coaxial Dipole Antenna

The CD-400-1500 is a professional-grade, ultra-wideband omni-directional antenna designed for seamless operation across the 400–1500 MHz frequency range. This high-performance coaxial dipole is engineered for vertical polarization, making it an ideal single-antenna solution for fixed base stations, shipboard installations, and tactical mobile applications. Its broad spectrum coverage eliminates the logistical complexity and cost of maintaining multiple narrowband antennas.

Design and Versatility

The CD-400-1500 features a rugged, all-weather design protected by a UV-resistant ABS radome. A key technical highlight is its high suppression of skin current, which ensures a smooth and stable VSWR throughout the entire 1100 MHz bandwidth. The cylindrical enclosure is aerodynamically optimized for low wind loading and to prevent the accumulation of ice, ensuring that the antenna remains operational in the most severe environmental conditions while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing, low-profile appearance.

Precision Fabrication

Constructed using 6063T6 ultra-corrosion-resistant architectural aluminum alloy, the antenna consists of vertically stacked radiating elements. The integration of a specialized "Choke and Spark Gap" technique ensures constant superior performance and electrical stability. To survive the harshest maritime or industrial settings, the antenna is supplied with Marine Grade Type 316 Stainless Steel mounting hardware. The N-Female termination is strategically fixed at the bottom of the mounting pipe, providing complete weather protection for the cable connection.

Optimized Performance

With a typical 2 dBi gain and a wide vertical beam-width of 78 degrees, the CD-400-1500 delivers excellent 360-degree horizontal coverage and stable links for mobile platforms. It is capable of handling up to 250 Watts of RF power, making it suitable for high-demand communication hubs. The antenna is factory-tuned for immediate "plug-and-play" deployment, requiring no field adjustments or tuning across its entire operating range.

Design Features:CD-400-1500 UHF coaxial dipole antenna is an omni-directional antenna for vertically polarized waves. CD-400-1500 Omni-directional UHF coaxial dipole antenna is rugged all weather model, enclosed in a ABS radome, uses ultra corrosion resistant aluminum alloy and does not require any field tuning or adjustments. The compact size of omni-directional coaxial dipole antenna allows easy handling, shipping and highly suitable for base station application without having the requirement of multiple antennas. The coaxial dipole antenna features high suppression of skin current which provides the smooth VSWR over the 400-1500MHz frequency band. Cylindrical enclosure is used for low wind loading and for minimal effect of ice formation on the antenna operation as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Due to sturdy design the coaxial dipole antenna is highly suitable for fixed station application, shipboard mounting and mobile application.

Constructions: The coaxial dipole antenna is consisting of round diameter radiating elements stacked vertically and enclosed in ABS radome. The special “Choke and Spark Gap” technique is used for constant superior performance over the entire 400-1500 MHz. frequency band. The UV resistant ABS enclosure has excellent transparency for RF signals and enough strength to withstand specified wind loads. The N-Female termination of antenna is fixed at the bottom of the mounting pipe for complete weather protection. The marine grade type 316 stainless steel mounting brackets are supplied with the coaxial dipole antenna.
