FR380

Antennas RF Overview

The FR380 is a 390 MHz whip-style RF antenna manufactured by TE Connectivity. It operates within the 380 MHz to 400 MHz frequency range and provides a gain of 3 dBi. The connector system utilizes an NMO base mount for installation. This component is designed as a straight, rigid whip antenna suitable for specific band communications.

Antennas RF Feature Summary

• Straight whip design for fixed mounting applications
• NMO base mount interface for secure attachment
• Optimized performance in the 380-400 MHz band

Antennas RF Applications

• Marine VHF communication systems
• Industrial radio telemetry links
• Public safety two-way radio installations

Antennas RF Procurement Notes

Verify the exact frequency tolerance and physical length requirements against the specific operational environment before procurement. Confirm that the NMO base mount compatibility matches existing vehicle or equipment fixtures. Ensure the antenna material withstands the expected environmental conditions such as salt spray or UV exposure for long-term reliability.

Antennas RF Selection Notes

Select this model when a dedicated 380-400 MHz solution is required with a low-profile straight form factor. Consider the NMO mounting constraint if replacing existing hardware. Evaluate the 3 dBi gain against other available options to ensure adequate signal coverage for the intended distance and terrain without requiring additional amplification.
