DielectricStand 5.319
7C/7P/7S Series 700-MHz Antennas & TFU-UT Antenna
www.dielectric.com
Dielectric is introducing a full line of antennas designed for the 700-MHz spectrum. The 7C, 7P, and 7S Series 700-MHz Antennas include slotted coaxial antennas as well as panel antennas. All antennas in this line can be horizontally, vertically, or circularly polarized.
In the TFU-UT, the patented bow-tie slot turnstile is a low-power, economical broadband (470 to 860 MHz), UHF omni-directional antenna that features a simple-feed system and durable construction. Since each bow-tie slot represents two batwings in a turnstile configuration, the design eliminates feedlines, hardware, and radiators, as well as the need for a support mast. The antenna design also allows for dual inputs designed for single-channel operation or the simultaneous broadcast of two channels without the need for a separate combiner.
