RFMW Ltd. and Southwest Antennas of San Diego, Calif., have announced a distribution agreement effective November 30, 2015. Southwest Antennas manufactures over 600 RF and microwave antennas and accessories operating in frequencies up to 8.5 GHz, with capabilities beyond 20 GHz. RFMW Ltd. is a specialized distributor providing customers and suppliers with focused distribution of RF and microwave components as well as specialized component-engineering support.
Southwest Antennas offers an innovative line of S and C Band Omni Antennas with an integrated sealed spring base, which is stiff enough to keep the antenna oriented vertically but can bend and flex if pushed, reducing the chance of damage to the antenna or attached radio equipment. These antennas are an ideal solution for wireless cameras / broadcast video or mobile handheld radios used by first responders.
Southwest Antennas offers two and four input MIMO Omni antennas with integrated magnetic mount base. These are ideal for vehicle mount antenna applications, especially where permanent installation is not desired or rapid deployment is needed. Both antennas are designed for S Band communication at 2.1 - 2.5 GHz and are 45° slant polarized, and include 12 feet of integrated low-loss RF cable with Type-N(m) RF connectors.
Southwest Antennas offers a high performance 1,090 MHz vertical omni antenna specifically for the aviation tracking market (Part # 1085-120), designed to work with any brand of ADS-B receiver and features a Type-N(f) RF connector. Southwest Antennas has optimized the impedance of the antenna feed point and pattern to maximize performance and deliver 5.5 dBi of gain, with a design that helps pull in signals from aircraft near the antenna or at high elevation angles.
Southwest Antennas offers a full line of body worn antennas for dismounted user applications or covert surveillance operations where the radio and antenna system needs to be concealed on the body. These antennas weigh less than an ounce, and are tuned specifically to be used next to or close to the human body. Southwest Antennas offers models designed to operate in the UHF, L, and S Band frequency ranges.
Southwest Antennas Part # 1001-060 is a dual band, half wave dipole Omni antenna with a low band frequency range of 2.1 to 2.5 GHz and a peak gain of 2.1 dBi, and a high band frequency of 4.4 to 5.9 GHz and a peak gain of 2.5 dBi. The antenna features an integrated 3" RF Gooseneck with black chrome non-rotating SMA(m) RF connector, which contributes to the improvement of RF link margin and overall antenna performance.
The 4G LTE Cellular Omni Concealment Antenna (P/N # 1066-012) from Southwest Antennas allows for easy integration of penta-band 4G LTG cellular communication into a wide variety of devices and small spaces, and is ideal for low-profile or covert surveillance use. The penta-band design gives the antenna coverage across all 4G LTE bands, allowing for both domestic and international use. A miniature low loss RF cable and SMA Male connector allow for flexible connection options.
Southwest Antennas is proud to announce the completion of their new full anechoic antenna test chamber, operated by their partners at Avalon Test Equipment/3PC.
