Unlike conventional helical antennas, most of which have a much narrower bandwidth, the A5000-CP covers the entire UHF range from 450 to 960 MHz. This flexibility makes setting up complex RF transmission systems much easier. The antenna minimizes variations in signal strength and almost completely eliminates multipath problems. The gain of the A5000-CP over the entire UHF band is also far superior to that of conventional antennas.
The A5000-CP features an opening angle of ±40° and considerably improves the performance of Non-Diversity systems. The sturdy radome is in black acrylic, while the base plate is made of anodized aluminium. The antenna can be stand- or wall-mounted, and using an additionally available Matthews pin, can also be mounted on a lighting grid, say the company.
