| AG3-450 | UHF Base Station Ground Plane Antenna | 406-512MHz | 3 dBi. |  |  |  |
The AG3-450 is a professional-grade, high-gain Omni-Directional Ground Plane Antenna precision-engineered for the 406–512 MHz UHF spectrum. Constructed from high-class brass alloy, this rugged all-weather model is designed for elite base station performance in military, public safety, and industrial trunking networks. With a stable 3 dBi gain and a high 500-Watt power handling capacity, the AG3-450 provides reliable 360-degree signal saturation across a 20 MHz bandwidth without the need for field tuning.
Hardened Construction & Design
Strategic materials for persistent performance in extreme environments. The AG3-450 utilizes an all-brass radiating architecture, which is critical for preventing the formation of "Signal Cells." This design eliminates internal inter-modulation (IM) and ensures absolute signal purity even during high-power transmissions. For maximum durability, all mounting hardware and fasteners are made of stainless steel, and the support pipe features a rugged powder-coated finish to resist corrosion.
Operational Efficiency
True omni-directional dominance with superior null fill. The antenna delivers a stable vertical radiation pattern with a 72-degree vertical beamwidth. This wide elevation aperture provides excellent "null fill," ensuring consistent signal coverage for ground units and assets at varying elevations—effectively eliminating the communication dead zones common with higher-gain, narrower-beam antennas. For maximum field survivability, the N-Female termination and feed cable are fully enclosed within the mounting pipe, shielding critical RF connections from moisture and ice.
Detailed Technical Features

Key Advantages, Benefits & Applications
Key Advantages:
- Signal Purity: Brass-to-brass junctions prevent the non-linear "diode effect" that causes spectral regrowth and interference.
- Maintenance-Free: Rugged, fully welded-equivalent construction eliminates the need for periodic cleaning or field tuning.
- Compact Footprint: Offers a high gain-to-size ratio with an overall length of only 0.9 meters.
Key Applications:
- UHF Base Stations: Primary communication link for emergency services, security forces, and military headquarters.
- TETRA & Digital Trunking: Providing reliable wide-area coverage for municipal and industrial digital radio systems.
- Critical Infrastructure: Wireless links for refineries, transport hubs, and high-security government installations.
- Localized Area Coverage: Ideal for high-reliability communications where consistent signal saturation is required in a 360-degree radius.
Design Features: AG3-450 Ground Plane Antenna is rugged all weather model, uses high class chrome plated Brass and does not require any field tuning. The ground plane antenna when packed comes with ground radials removed from the antenna body for ease of packing and transportation.
