EM-6856 Antenna, Ultra-Wideband, Passive, Omni-Directional | 20 MHz – 43.5 GHz

The Electro-Metrics EM-6856 is an Ultra Wideband Passive Antenna with Omni-Directional radiation patterns covering the entire frequency range of 20MHz-43.5GHz. As the successor to the EM-6857, the EM6856 features a size reduction of 38% and weight reduction of 36% over its predecessor while maintaining a nominal gain of > 2dBi across 90% of its operational frequency range. Environmentally hardened with a rugged build and stable performance, this antenna is excellent for SIGINT and related applications.
