B2002N

Antennas RF Overview

The B2002N is a mobile base-loaded half-wave antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity, designed for VHF frequency bands. It operates within a range of 200 MHz to 225 MHz with a center frequency of 212 MHz. The component provides a gain of 2.4 dBi and supports a power handling capacity of 200 W. It features a 49-inch whip design and includes an integrated load coil for base loading. This antenna is intended for outdoor mobile applications requiring reliable VHF communication performance.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Base-loaded half-wave design optimized for VHF mobile communications
• Integrated load coil eliminates need for separate mounting hardware
• High power handling capability suitable for demanding operational environments

Antennas RF Applications

• VHF mobile radio installations
• Outdoor communication systems
• Base station antenna configurations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency band requirements against the 200-225 MHz range before procurement. Confirm that the 200 W power rating aligns with the transmitter output specifications. Ensure that the base mounting hardware is ordered separately as it is not included with the antenna assembly. Check for any environmental sealing requirements if used in harsh conditions.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a base-loaded solution is preferred over top-loaded designs for space constraints. The 2.4 dBi gain offers standard efficiency for VHF bands. Consider the 49-inch whip length for vehicle clearance limitations. Verify compatibility with existing coaxial cabling and connectors for seamless integration into the RF chain.

Antennas RF Part Context

This part belongs to TE Connectivity's portfolio of RF antennas and passive components. It serves as a specialized solution for VHF mobile communications where compactness and ease of installation are prioritized. The inclusion of the load coil simplifies the mechanical assembly process compared to traditional half-wave whips.

Antennas RF Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other TE Connectivity VHF antennas such as the B2002 series variants if exact specifications cannot be met.
