® assuredcommunications® 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.
