2 GHz to 6 GHz Cavity Backed Spiral Antenna OBS-2060
$1235
The OBS-2060 is a compact, cavity-backed spiral antenna designed for high-performance transmission and reception across the 2.0 GHz to 6.0 GHz frequency range. With moderate gain and VSWR, this circularly polarized antenna provides an excellent impedance match and radiation pattern.
Key features of this antenna include the ability to receive both linearly and circularly polarized signals, with linear gain approximately 3 dB lower than circular gain. Its low-profile design, planar aperture, no phase center offset, flexibility for carrying, and lightweight and symmetrical radiation beam width ensure consistent performance across the entire frequency band. The antenna’s outermost dimensions are a diameter of 68mm and a height of 50mm.
With all the above benefits, it is ideal for a variety of demanding applications. First of all, this antenna is particularly effective in Longer-Range Communication, it provides excellent signal propagation and lower attenuation, making it a prime choice for satellite communication, terrestrial radio links, and military communication systems. Moreover, it’s well-suited for general radar systems, including air traffic control radar, weather monitoring, and early warning radar systems, where broad area coverage is critical. In electronic warfare (EW), this antenna excels at signal interception, jamming, and wide-area electronic surveillance, making it an essential component in broad-spectrum defense systems. Lastly, its lower frequency range allows it to be integrated into broadband antenna systems that balance moderate resolution with long-distance coverage, making it a versatile solution for a range of industries.https://www.rfecho.com/product-category/rf-antenna/cavity-backed-spiral-antenna/

Cavity Backed Spiral Antenna
2GHz to 6GHz
OBS-2060
The OBS-2060 is a compact, moderate gain, moderate VSWR, circularly-polarized cavity-backed spiral antenna designed to transmit and receive in the frequency band of 2.0 GHz to 6.0 GHz. The antenna exhibits an excellent impedance match and radiation pattern.
It is capable of receiving both linearly polarized signals and circularly polarized signals. The linear gain (dBil) is about 3 dB lower than the circular gain (dBic).
The antenna has the advantages of a low profile, a planar aperture, no phase center offset, near-constant beam width across the frequency band, symmetrical radiation beam width, extreme flexibility for carrying, and lightweight.
These advantages make the antenna a very good candidate for electronic warfare, direction finding, telemetry, and surveillance systems, as well as flush-mounted airborne applications. The antenna can also be used as a broadband feed for reflector antennas.
The antenna’s outer dimensions are a diameter of 68mm and a height of 50mm.
