Antenna Radomes and Tubes
An antenna cover must provide protection of the antenna from the environment, without impairing its ability to operate radio waves. For modern antennas the cover must also carry mechanical loads.
The excellent electromagnetic properties and mechanical strength of glass fibre composites is the perfect choice. Exel produce antenna profiles and tubes utilizing both pultrusion and pullwinding methods, achieving lightweight, strong and stiff antenna covers.
Applications:
GSM and UMTS antennas, both Sector and Omni-antennas
Important Properties include:
- Transparency to electromagnetic Omni-antennas
- Low thermal sensitivity
- High Stiffness
- Low weight
- Good resistance to weathering
