Laird Techologies FR450 Omni FG 450-470MHz 150W fitting

450-470 MHz UHF omnidirectional antenna

This Laird Technologies FR450 fiberglass antenna operates across the 450-470 MHz UHF band with a 3 dBi gain and vertical polarisation. It handles up to 150 W maximum power input and includes mounting clamps and a 12 in Ultralink lead terminated with an N Female connector. The unit weighs 1.25 lb and measures 33.5 in overall length.

Suitable for fixed UHF base stations

This antenna suits installations needing a durable, weatherproof omnidirectional radiator with DC ground lightning protection and a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1. It is not suited for applications requiring higher gain, alternative connector types, or frequency coverage outside the 450-470 MHz range. Buyers needing a different polarisation or a shorter physical profile should consider other designs.

150 W continuous power rating

The 150 W rating provides headroom for typical UHF base-station transmitters, while the fiberglass radome is rated for wind speeds up to 125 mph. The 3 dBi gain delivers broad horizontal coverage but limits reach compared to higher-gain directional arrays. The 12 in Ultralink jumper fixes the feed-point distance; longer cable runs require additional low-loss coax not supplied with this unit.
