RF-3183-AT0XX
MULTIBAND
VEHICULAR
ANTENNA
SERIES
for tactical, C3I, or battlefield
conditions using new
broadband antenna
technology
The RF-3183 vehicular whip antennas are a series of tactical,
multiband antennas that are designed for use with Harris
multi-mission military radios, including the RF-300M-MP, RF7800M-MP, AN/PRC-117F, RF-5800M-MP, RF-5800V and the
vehicular AN/PRC-152 handheld radio. Available in single and
dual port configurations with either BNC or Type N connectors,
they provide maximum performance over the 30MHz to
512MHz spectrum. The dual port configurations are enabled
through the use of a diplexer.
The antennas utilize the latest in broadband antenna
technology and provide exceptional LOS and BLOS
communications. Designed specifically for battlefield
conditions, these antennas remain mechanically strong and
flexible even when deployed in the harshest of conditions.
They incorporate high-voltage power line protection, and due
to their passive characteristics, they operate without an
antenna tuner, band-switching or operator intervention.
The antenna series is designed to meet and exceed the
rigors of MIL-STD-810 and SINCGARS testing for
mechanical, environmental and tactical survivability.
They bolt directly to a NATO standard 4.5-inch
bolt circle or the Harris RF-292 Universal
Antenna Mount and, by reducing the
typical multiband antenna signature to
a single antenna they become the
ideal choice for multiband radio
deployment.
