The Hi-Tec Corner Reflector is a medium gain antenna for point to point, or sector communications. Designed as a rugged antenna it maintains its characteristics under harsh weather conditions.
Corner reflector antennas offer the following advantages:
- A broad bandwidth
- High front-to-back ratios
- Low side lobes
- Minimal de-tuning effect by ice
Series 6000 aluminium extrusion is utilised in the fabrication of the reflector framework. This framework is finished in a black powder coating to assist ice shedding. The support clamps for the framework are 63mm cast aluminium (similar to the CLMC63), these enable the antenna to be mounted in either a vertical or horizontal mode.
The driven element is housed in a UV protected PVC radome to minimise the effect of precipitation static.
An N plug connector is supplied, fitted to a 2m RG213 tail. The antenna is supplied on site as a knock down kit.
