D2288 Dipole Antenna
The D2288 Dipole Antenna is a high-reliability UHF dipole antenna operating in the 400–500 MHz band. With four radiating elements and connectors housed within a single radome, it enables simultaneous multi-channel operation for critical military and aviation communication systems.
Description
The D2288 Dipole Antenna is engineered for demanding military, defense, and aviation environments. Covering the 400–500 MHz frequency range, the antenna features four independent radiating elements, each with a dedicated connector, allowing simultaneous transmission across multiple UHF channels. The vertically polarized design ensures consistent coverage, while the rugged fiberglass radome delivers durability in extreme weather and field conditions. Whether deployed on fixed installations or mobile platforms, the D2288 Dipole Antenna provides robust, high-integrity communication performance essential for mission-critical operations.
