BB4505CS

Antennas RF Overview

The BB4505CS is a UHF whip antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity, designed for operation within the 450MHz to 470MHz frequency band. It features a center frequency of 460MHz and provides a gain of 5dBi. The antenna utilizes an NMO base mount interface and supports a maximum power input of 100W. Key electrical specifications include a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 2. The physical construction includes a straight whip design with a maximum height of 32.250 inches (819.15mm).

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Operates as a straight whip antenna in the UHF band.
• Features an NMO base mounting interface for secure installation.
• Provides 5dBi gain at the 460MHz center frequency.

Antennas RF Applications

• UHF radio communication systems
• Mobile vehicle installations requiring NMO mounts
• Professional two-way radio infrastructure

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CS' against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm exact material or environmental specifications. Confirm that the NMO base requirement matches the intended mounting surface. Ensure the operating frequency aligns strictly with the 450-470MHz range to maintain performance integrity.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed-gain UHF antenna is required for mobile applications. The NMO base is standard for many vehicle roofs. Verify that the 100W power rating exceeds the transmitter output. Check physical clearance requirements against the 32.250-inch height specification before integration.

Antennas RF Part Context
