AW-GUN0827-5 is a 5 dBi handheld radio antenna covering 0.7-2.7 GHz. With vertical polarization and a rugged build, it suits public safety / land mobile radio installations in both temperate and harsh outdoor environments.

Radiation Pattern and Gain

As an omnidirectional radiator, it provides a full 360 degree azimuth pattern with an approximate 40 degree elevation beamwidth, distributing energy evenly around the mast. The rated gain of 5 dBi is referenced to an isotropic radiator.

Mechanical and Electrical Specifications

Mechanically, the AW-GUN0827-5 measures 230 x 28 x 28 mm and is housed in a ABS gun-grip housing / brass radiator. The standard interface is a N-Female connector, with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a typical VSWR of 2.0:1 or better. The element withstands up to 25 W of input power.

Installation Guidance

The recommended installation is desktop / handheld. The enclosure carries an IP65 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

  • Public Safety / Land Mobile Radio
  • Handheld Radio
  • IoT / M2M
