Haigh-Farr UAV Button Antennas

Haigh‐Farr Button antennas are designed for applications where size and weight are critical. Models cover frequencies ranging from UHF to X‐Band, and provide the omnidirectional coverage of a monopole in a rugged package. Models 2107, 2207 and 13215 have a filled‐in overhead null, and, therefore, provide the added benefit of full hemispherical coverage.

Haigh‐Farr Button antennas utilize proven materials and methods of construction, providing a solid package that requires only one “D” hole in the vehicle for mounting. Superb protection is obtained through the use of a high‐impact, high‐temperature radome, with excellent properties for environments containing moisture and contaminants.
