Radio Waves Announces Broadband LPA Antenna

August 5, 2009

Radio Waves Inc. has announced the availability of a new LPA Antenna, the LPA-1-18. This Log Periodic Dipole Array antenna is broad banded in nature and operates from 1 to 18 GHz in a single antenna. This antenna is a directive array similar to a yagi, but covering a broad frequency range. The LPA has 7 dBi gain that remains relatively constant across the band of 1 to 18 GHz. The LPA has a female SMA connector on the back.

Andy Singer, President of Radio Waves, said, “The new LPA-1-18 is ideal for quick deployment applications and comes complete with a mount that allows mounting for vertical or horizontal orientation. This amazing antenna is also great for those calls our distributors get for antenna requirements at 'unusual' frequencies since it covers 1 to 18 GHz. By keeping a dozen of these on the shelf a distributor can be reactive to these unusual inquires.”

The new LPA antenna is encased in a tough and durable radome for both commercial and extreme homeland security antenna applications. Like all of Radio Waves antennas, the new LPA antenna is made in the US and comes with a five-year warranty.
