Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as documentation references both PCTEL, Inc. and Amphenol PCTEL. Confirm that the UHF female connector type matches system requirements. Ensure the 100 W power rating aligns with operational needs. Check if cable kits are included or sold separately, as datasheets indicate they are not included.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring a low-profile antenna suitable for vehicles with height restrictions. The 488-512 MHz frequency range targets specific UHF bands. Consider the vertical polarization and 1 dBi gain for standard line-of-sight communication needs. Verify compatibility with existing UHF female connectors on transceivers.

Antennas RF Part Context

The ASPC572 belongs to the TRANSIT series of antennas, specifically categorized as a 'Linebacker' style antenna. This series focuses on providing reliable performance in mobile transit scenarios while maintaining a compact physical footprint. It represents a specialized solution for UHF band operations where space is limited.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Users should verify exact dimensional and electrical compatibility when considering alternative models from other manufacturers.
