Product Identity
The Maxrad MFB9153 is a fiberglass omnidirectional antenna built for the 902-928 MHz band. It delivers 3 dBd gain with a maximum power input of 150 W and terminates in an N Female connector. The DC-grounded design and fiberglass radome support reliable long-term operation.
Suitability
This antenna suits installations needing vertical polarization and fixed 0-degree electrical downtilt across the specified frequency range. It withstands wind velocities up to 100 mile/h. Buyers who need integrated mounting hardware or a different connector type should look at other options.
Deciding Specification
The operating range of 902-928 MHz is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part. The antenna provides 5.25 dBi gain within this band with a maximum VSWR of 1.5:1. Verify your system frequency matches exactly before purchase.

Questions about this item
Does the Maxrad MFB9153 ship with mounting hardware or do I need to order it separately?
Mounting hardware is not included and must be ordered separately; the antenna itself has an aluminum base ready for the hardware you choose.
How do I decide between the 3 dBd gain and the 5.25 dBi gain figures when selecting this antenna?
Both figures describe the same antenna — 3 dBd is gain relative to a dipole, while 5.25 dBi is gain relative to an isotropic radiator; use whichever reference your system planner specifies.
What does the 150 W maximum power rating mean when the antenna is installed on a vehicle?
The antenna can handle up to 150 W of continuous RF input, so your transmitter must not exceed that level; the DC-grounded design also helps protect against lightning-induced surges.
