® assuredcommunications™ RF-390 MULTIBAND VEHICULAR ANTENNA SERIES for tactical, C3I, or battlefield conditions using new broadband antenna technology The RF-390 multiband vehicular whip antenna series is designed for tactical, C3I, or battlefield conditions using new broadband antenna technology. Its design provides maximum performance for the latest in multimission military radios; the AN/PRC-117F, RF-5800M, RF-5800V, and RF-5800U. Now, a single antenna can provide exceptional gain and instantaneous bandwidth performance over the 30 to 512 MHz spectrum. This unique electrical design puts the power pattern on the horizon allowing exceptional LOS and BLOS communications even in the harshest conditions The bandwidth is achieved by distributive passive components avoiding lumps to provide a mechanically strong but flexible structure. Being passive, there is no need for an antenna tuner, bandswitching, or operator intervention. The RF-390 is designed to meet and exceed the rigors of MIL-STD-810 tests for both mechanical and environmental characteristics, as well as SINCGARS standards for tactical survivability along with high-voltage power line protection. The RF-390 is the ideal choice for multiband radios because it reduces the vertical signature by replacing multiple antennas with a single antenna. Its feed through spring base mounts directly to a NATO standard 4.5" bolt circle or Harris RF-292 Universal Antenna Mount.
