Product Description
Designed for permanent attachment, the PML
½-wave whip tilts 180 degrees and delivers
outstanding performance in a cost-effective
package. An internal counterpoise eliminates
external ground plane dependence and maximizes
performance. The antenna is attached by placing
its base through a ¼” (6.35 mm) hole in the product
and securing it with a nut or by threading it into
a PEM-style insert. This method of attachment is
highly secure and saves the cost of an antenna
connector. The PML attaches to a PCB or
connector via 12” (30.48 cm) of RG-178 coax
cable. It is also available with 1.32 mm coax cable
terminated with a U.FL/MHF compatible connector.
This saves the labor of adding a connector while
using one that is small enough to fit through the
antenna’s mounting hole. Custom lengths and
terminations are available by special order.
