News - RM-BCA0023-2 Bi-Conical Antenna, 0.02–3 GHz

RF MISO’s RM-BCA0023-2 is a wideband bi-conical antenna designed for RF testing, surveillance, antenna measurement, and system integration applications across the 0.02–3 GHz frequency range. Covering from 20 MHz up to 3 GHz, this antenna provides a practical solution for engineers who need broad frequency coverage without frequently changing antennas during measurement or system evaluation.

In many RF measurement environments, consistency is just as important as bandwidth. The RM-BCA0023-2 offers 2 dBi typical gain and 2 typical VSWR, supporting stable signal transmission and reception over a wide operating band. Its vertical polarization makes it suitable for test setups where polarization alignment and repeatable measurement conditions are required.

The antenna is equipped with an N-Female RF connector, which is commonly used in RF test systems and field measurement setups. With a 1000 W power capacity, the RM-BCA0023-2 can support demanding test environments where higher input power handling is required. The antenna body uses aluminum material with painted finishing, balancing structural strength, durability, and practical field usability.

For outdoor or semi-controlled engineering environments, environmental adaptability is also an important factor. The RM-BCA0023-2 supports an operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C and relative humidity of 95% ± 3% at 40°C. These specifications make it suitable for both laboratory testing and practical deployment scenarios where temperature and humidity conditions may vary.

The outline drawing and simulation data show that the antenna is built for wideband operation with an omnidirectional radiation characteristic in the intended orientation. This makes it useful for surveillance systems, antenna pattern measurement, RF signal monitoring, and integration into broader communication or testing platforms.

Overall, the RM-BCA0023-2 bi-conical antenna is a reliable wideband antenna solution for engineers working across the 0.02–3 GHz band. With its broad frequency range, vertical polarization, N-Female connector, 2 dBi typical gain, and high power handling capability, it is well suited for RF laboratories, measurement systems, surveillance applications, and integrated test platforms.
