Need wire dipoles for 900 MHz ? - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

I need a number of dipoles for 900 MHz operation. I could fabricate these myself using a couple of bits of wire soldered to the end of a coax with a ferrite balun and pot the junction but I don't really have the time to do this. App is narrowband at around 900 MHz with RF power of no more than 1 Watt. Can anyone suggest an antenna manufacturer that has anything off-the-shelf ?

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
