Operating across 136-470 MHz, the AW-HH-VU-STUBBY handheld radio antenna provides 1 dBi gain and vertical polarization. The design targets handheld radio deployments that demand reliable coverage and stable impedance matching.
Radiation Pattern and Gain
As an omnidirectional radiator, it provides a full 360 degree azimuth pattern with an approximate 65 degree elevation beamwidth, distributing energy evenly around the mast. The rated gain of 1 dBi is referenced to an isotropic radiator.
Mechanical and Electrical Specifications
Mechanically, the AW-HH-VU-STUBBY measures 48 x 15 x 15 mm and is housed in a TPE stubby / dual helical radiator. The standard interface is a SMA-Female connector, with a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a typical VSWR of 2.5:1 or better. The element withstands up to 10 W of input power.
Installation Guidance
The recommended installation is desktop / handheld. The enclosure carries an IP54 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
Handheld Radio
Public Safety / Land Mobile Radio
