What is the purpose of a flexible support for a military antenna?

A flexible antenna mount allows for optimal antenna positioning and orientation while absorbing mechanical stresses. It ensures radio signal stability while withstanding shocks, vibrations, and extreme conditions encountered in the field or in onboard environments.

What types of antennas does ABEILLON offer?

ABEILLON designs UHF and VHF military antennas adapted for tactical communications. Available in short or ribbon versions, they are used on portable radios or military vehicles and are compatible with various connectors such as TNC or N according to defense standards.

Are the antenna mounts suitable for extreme environments?

Yes, ABEILLON flexible supports are designed to withstand the harshest environments, particularly in the land, naval, and air sectors. Their robust construction, using materials such as steel, brass, or aluminum, ensures excellent resistance to impacts, climatic variations, and mechanical stresses.

What is a flexible UHF extension and what is it used for?

A flexible UHF extension allows for remote antenna placement while maintaining optimal signal quality. It ensures the transmission and reception of signals on high frequency bands, while offering positioning flexibility without significant performance loss, validated by electromagnetic testing.

UHF and VHF military antennas: robustness, flexibility and performance

ABEILLON ABEILLON designs high-performance military UHF and VHF antennas , perfectly suited to the requirements of tactical communications . These military radio antennas , available in short or ribbon versions , are intended for use on radios or for mounting on all-terrain vehicles .

Each military antenna can be supplied with a suitable military antenna base , including options for TNC or N-type connectors , according to defense industry standards . Thanks to their shock-resistant structure , these military radio communication antennas ensure excellent reliability even in extreme conditions. The semi-rigid design of Abeillon allows for flexible handling without damage. Their military antennas special coating offers increased resistance to climatic, chemical, and mechanical stresses , validated by MIL-STD compliance tests or according to defense customer specifications .

Flexible antenna mounts: stability and controlled orientation

ABEILLON also manufactures military antenna mountsfor supporting onboard antennas. These flexible antenna mounts, made of gooseneck metal, offer both great flexibility in orientation and excellent robustness.

Our solutions include:

Flexible bases for military vehicles

Designed to equip military antennas on armored vehicles, these flexible military bases adapt perfectly to the vehicle structures. They utilize various materials such as steel, brass, and aluminum, which guarantee high impact resistance and increased durability.

Adjustable bases for portable radios

Ideal for short and ribbon, these adjustable bases allow for precise positioning. They are widely used on portable radios and ensure optimal stability even in dynamic environments.

Each onboard antenna mount can integrate specific connections (metric, imperial, or TNC type connector or N type connector ), meeting electromagnetic or field maintenance requirements .

Flexible UHF extensions: performance and tests validated

The UHF extensions developed by ABEILLON are designed for the transmission and reception of UHF signals in frequency bands ranging from 500 MHz to 5000 MHz. Each UHF antenna extension incorporates a flexible UHF support designed to guarantee a lossless signal and high shielding efficiency.

Available with UHF N connectors, UHF TNC connectors or UHF SMA connectors, these UHF extensions are used for civil or military applications requiring precise positioning and high mechanical resistance.

To validate performance, electromagnetic tests are carried out:

Standing wave ratio (SWR)
Transfer impedance
Flexible antenna orientation tests (straight position, 90°, 180°)

The results demonstrate that the angular position of the semi-rigid UHF flexible cable has very little impact on overall signal performance. The black polyolefin coating on the extensions allows them to operate in extreme temperatures, from -40°C to +70°C.
