Antennas

Our antennas are designed to be compact, robust, slender and lightweight. This means minimal installation on site, and easy handling.

Transport costs are also reduced dramatically thanks to small packaging volumes. The robust design has been verified in tests and during service since 1998.

Arkivator Telecom antennas are the product of research at Chalmers. Professor Per-Simon Kildal has invented our antennas, and he was also one of the founders of Comhat AB, see www.kildal.se. 

The patented design principle, called the Hat antenna design, is a combination of excellent side lobe suppression, low cross polarisation, and high antenna gain with small dimensions and low weight. The main advantages are less wind load, reduced weight load on the tower, easy handling and low transportation costs.

Our antennas are ideal both for direct installation on RF devices outdoors and as self-contained units. There are a large number of different interfaces, directly mounted couplers, and all types of IEC or EIA flanges can be provided.

Customer unique options can be supplied with very short lead times.

Only materials of high quality are used, with surface treated aluminium, stainless steel and galvanised steel. Our primary goal is to provide the most cost-effective microwave antennas on the market when it comes to reliability and service life.

Arkivator provides antennas in common frequency bands for radio links from 7 to 38 GHz.

The antennas are available as 0.3 m, 0.6 m and 1.2 m. We will also be able to provide 0.9 m antennas in 2010.
