CD-135-470: Wideband Omni-Directional Coaxial Dipole Antenna

The CD-135-470 is a rugged, professional-grade coaxial dipole antenna designed for seamless operation across the 135–470 MHz VHF/UHF spectrum. This wideband antenna provides a single-unit solution for ground-to-air, ground-to-mobile, and mobile-to-mobile communications. Its versatile mounting options, including NATO 4-hole flange and standard pole mounting, make it an ideal choice for both high-performance vehicular installations and fixed base stations.

Design and Versatility

The CD-135-470 is engineered for vertically polarized waves, delivering a consistent 360-degree horizontal radiation pattern. Enclosed in a high-strength ABS radome, the antenna is optimized for all-weather survivability, with a cylindrical profile that reduces wind loading and minimizes ice accumulation. A key technical advantage is its high suppression of skin current, which ensures a smooth VSWR and reliable electrical performance across the entire 335 MHz bandwidth, eliminating the need for multiple frequency-specific antennas.

Precision Fabrication and Construction

Constructed using 6063T6 ultra-corrosion-resistant architectural aluminum alloy, the internal radiating elements are vertically stacked to maximize signal integrity. The antenna integrates a specialized "Choke and Spark Gap" technique, ensuring constant superior performance and protection against environmental stressors. For maritime and tactical use, all mounting hardware is made from Marine Grade Type 316 Stainless Steel. The N-Female termination is strategically fixed at the bottom of the mounting pipe to provide total weather protection for the connector.

Optimized Performance

With a typical gain of 2.15 dBi and a vertical beam-width of 76 degrees, the CD-135-470 provides broad signal coverage, making it highly effective for near-field and high-angle communication. It is designed to handle a substantial 500 Watts of RF power, meeting the requirements of high-capacity communication hubs. The antenna is factory-tuned for immediate "plug-and-play" deployment and can be supplied with customized mounting configurations upon request.

Design Features: CD-135-470 coaxial dipole antenna is an omni-directional antenna for vertically polarized waves. CD-135-470 Omni-directional 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 ATC sites without having the requirement of multiple antennas. The coaxial dipole antenna features high suppression of skin current which provides the smooth VSWR over the 135-470MHz 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 135-470 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.
