BMWV1322S

Antennas RF Overview

The BMWV1322S is a VHF mobile antenna from the PCTEL Chrome Coil series, designed for high-power applications. It operates within a frequency range of 132 MHz to 174 MHz with a center frequency of 153 MHz. The unit features a magnetic mounting type and a stainless steel spring whip construction. Key electrical parameters include a gain of 2.4 dBi, an impedance of 50 Ohms, and a maximum power rating of 150 W. The physical height is 48.000 inches (121.92 cm), and it maintains a VSWR of 2.0:1.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Utilizes a flexible stainless steel spring whip design for durability and omnidirectional coverage.
• Employs a magnetic base mount for rapid installation without permanent vehicle modification.
• Engineered for high-power transmission handling up to 150 Watts in mobile environments.

Antennas RF Applications

• Mobile two-way radio communications
• Emergency vehicle communication systems
• Fleet management telemetry links

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the magnetic base includes necessary counterpoise requirements for optimal performance. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your deployment. Ensure the mounting surface is ferromagnetic and structurally sound to support the antenna weight.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-permanent mounting solution is required for VHF operations. Compare the 150 W power rating against your transmitter output to ensure adequate headroom. Consider the 48-inch height relative to garage clearance or vehicle profile constraints. Evaluate the 2.4 dBi gain against lower-gain alternatives for range requirements.
