ANTENNAS

uRAD with 3D Printed Lens

Impulse Technologies is supplying U.S. customers with Anteral’s new product for the industrial market. The product consists of a PLA 3D printed lens that fits directly over the uRAD Industrial PCB product. With the added lens, it achieves a reduction of the field of view from 160 degrees to less than 10 degrees, which makes it ideal for frontal detection applications. The application range is huge: from altimeter use to level sensor. The specific software is also included with the purchase.

Half Wave Dipole Antenna

RFMW announced design and sales support for a Southwest Antennas’ omni-directional antenna. The 1001-259 half wave dipole operates from 1.4 to 1.6 GHz with a peak gain of 2.0 dBi. Identical to the existing 1001-078 fixed based antenna, the 1001-259 adds an integrated, flexible, coil spring base which provides strain relief and impact deflection capability, thereby reducing the risk of damage if struck by another object. Both the antenna and mated RF radio connectors are protected.
