• Tunable wideband operation

Antennas RF Applications

• Vehicular communications
• Mobile radio systems
• Emergency vehicle installations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the base model B1322W rather than variants like BB1322WS or B1322WS which include spring bases. Confirm the NMO mounting style is required. Check for special order status as some distributors list this item as non-cancelable. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified temperature limits.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a standard NMO mount is preferred over spring-loaded alternatives. Choose based on the need for a fixed whip geometry without a ground plane. Consider the 200 W power handling capability for high-output transceivers. Verify compatibility with the target vehicle's roof structure for proper installation.

Antennas RF Part Context

This component belongs to TE Connectivity's VHF antenna catalog. It is distinct from the B1322WS variant which includes a spring base. The part is categorized under single-band VHF antennas for mobile use. It shares the same electrical specifications as other models in the series but differs in mechanical mounting hardware.
