ASP772

Antennas RF Overview

The ASP772 is a low silhouette transit antenna manufactured by Amphenol PCTEL, designed for operation within the 450 MHz to 470 MHz frequency range. It features vertical polarization and provides unity gain (0 dB) performance. The unit is equipped with a direct BNC female connector for termination. Constructed with a brass rod whip and an ASA plastic radome, it supports a power handling capacity of 100 watts. The minimum bandwidth is specified at 14 MHz.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Low profile design suitable for transit applications
• Vertical polarization for consistent signal coverage
• Integrated BNC female connector for direct mounting

Antennas RF Applications

• Transit communication systems
• Public safety radio networks
• Mobile base station installations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the required BNC female termination configuration. Confirm that the operating environment aligns with the 450-470 MHz band specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing mounting hardware due to the low silhouette form factor. Check lead time requirements as standard availability may vary.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile solution is required for mobile or transit environments. The unity gain specification suits general coverage needs without requiring high-gain alternatives. The integrated BNC connector simplifies installation compared to models requiring separate adapters. Consider the 100-watt power rating for system power budgeting.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to the TRANSIT series of antennas from Amphenol PCTEL. It is engineered specifically for vehicular and mobile infrastructure where space constraints limit the use of taller antennas. The series focuses on durability and streamlined aesthetics for public transport and emergency vehicles.
