Conformal Antennas
Where zero or minimal protrusion from vehicle outer mold line is necessary.
WraparoundTMAntennas
The Haigh-Farr Wraparound™ is a self-contained, omnidirectional antenna for cylindrical or conical shaped vehicles. A single point feed is used and no external splitters, combiners or cable harnesses are required for installation. The antenna may be mounted flush, or on the exterior of the vehicle.
Designs are available from 300 MHz to 13 GHz with typical applications including Flight Termination, GPS, Telemetry, Data Links and Transponder. Multiple antennas can be combined within the same physical Wraparound™, providing a multi-task solution in a single, compact package.
