 Cobham Antenna Systems Introduces New Flat Panel Antenna
for Telemetry Application



Cobham Antenna Systems - FPA13-2.2R/1533Cobham Antenna SystemsApril 15, 2009 -- Cobham Antenna Systems, Microwave Antennas, has designed a new directional antenna for use within an information system for telemetry applications in the defence and surveillance industries. As the antenna is to be incorporated into an existing multi-sector framework, it was designed to conform to existing technical and environmental specifications.

The technical performance and physically robust construction of this antenna ensures that it can be used with confidence in a range of applications, in order to provide operators with greater flexibility when designing network systems. It may also be used in industries where data is commercially valuable.


Model FPA13-2.2R/1533 is a small, flat panel antenna with directional beam pattern, 40° azimuth by 40° elevation.


Its frequency range is 2.2 to 2.35GHz and it has 13 dBi gain with right hand circular polarization. Discreet and unobtrusive in appearance, its dimensions are 195 x163x12.6mm (7.6x6.4x0.5 inches).
