The AW-FGS0827-8 is a 824-960 MHz omnidirectional fiberglass antenna engineered for marine / vessel communications. It delivers 8 dBi of gain with vertical polarization, making it a dependable choice where consistent 824-960 MHz performance is required.
Radiation Pattern and Gain
As an omnidirectional radiator, it provides a full 360 degree azimuth pattern with an approximate 20 degree elevation beamwidth, distributing energy evenly around the mast. The rated gain of 8 dBi is referenced to an isotropic radiator.
Mechanical and Electrical Specifications
Mechanically, the AW-FGS0827-8 measures 1100 x 25 x 25 mm and is housed in a Fiberglass radome / spring shock mount. The standard interface is a N-Female connector, with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a typical VSWR of 1.5:1 or better. The element withstands up to 100 W of input power.
Installation Guidance
The recommended installation is outdoor, pole-mounted. The enclosure carries an IP67 environmental rating for outdoor exposure. For best results, mount the antenna with clear line of sight to the served area and bond all outdoor hardware to a proper grounding system.
Typical Applications
Marine / Vessel Communications
Telematics / V2X
