Description

The ARA-1220 and ARA-1220-101 are designed for use in the most demanding and harsh tactical conditions. The lightweight, low-profile construction combined with a standard NATO 4-Bolt mounting pattern allows easy integration into military vehicles and most antenna mast systems. The ARA-1220 is tuned for performance between 1200 MHz and 2000 MHz but performs well up to 2500 MHz. The ARA-1220-101 antenna includes a bandpass filter and a built-in low noise preamplifier. DC power is applied and decoupled from the single RF connector at the base. The bandpass filter on the ARA-1220-101 reduces the band to operate between 941.5 MHz and 1126.5 MHz. The maximum gain is tuned for -10° to +10° in elevation with azimuthal variations of ±1 dB. Broadband, low VSWR ensures no effective radiated power reduction in mobile or vehicular platforms.
