Description
The ATW‑A49a is a pair of wide‑band, directional LPDA (Log Periodic Dipole Array) antennas designed for UHF wireless systems. They are passive antennas (i.e., receive only) and are intended to improve signal pickup and reliability for wireless microphone systems. Each antenna paddle is matched to 50 ohm impedance and uses a high‑quality, low‑loss BNC connector. They mount via standard 5/8″‑27 threads, making them suitable for both permanent installations and portable setups. Operating bandwidth covers approximately 440–900 MHz (some listings show up to ~950 MHz) with about 6 dB of gain vs standard whip antennas.
Key Features
