The performance specifications in this table apply to antennas categorized under “Configuration 1” in the associated wind speed and sway bar selection guide. In most cases,
“Configuration 1” antennas offer a survival wind speed of 200 km/h. However, most 200 km/h antennas (except 4.6 m (15 ft) models) are also available in models that offer higher
survival wind speed performance.

Wind speed and sway bar selection guide

A wind speed, perimeter sway bar and sway bar connecting kit are available to complement your RFS TrunkLine antennas:
A wind kit increases antenna survival wind speed support from 200 km/h An optional perimeter sway bar provides added assurance in case mistakes
(125 mph) to 252 km/h (155 mph). Wind kits give customers the flexibility to are made during installation.
upgrade survival wind speed support levels in the field during installation if A universal sway bar tower connecting kit allows sway bars to be attached

Extremely high XPD for complete isolation between

the radios in each polarization RFS PrimeLine antennas offer XPD that is typically higher than 40 dB, very
low secondary lobe levels and excellent front-to-back ratios
Tested and validated ultra-high (ETSI EN 302 217
Class 3 and FCC Class A) electrical performance

Excellent radiation pattern envelope (RPE), particularly

in the cross-polar area

Support for winds up to 200 km/h (125 mph)

with high-wind versions that support winds up to
252 km/h (155 mph) and an optional sway bar for
added assurance in case mistakes are made during
installation

Ability to change frequencies in the field in most cases1

Available in:

Frequencies ranging from 3.6 GHz to 23.6 GHz

with support for two wideband frequency ranges
(5.725-6.875 and 5.925-6.875) to reduce antenna
requirements and simplify logistics

Sizes ranging from 0.6 m (2 ft) to 4.6 m (15 ft)

Configurations with single-piece or split reflectors;

RFS recommends single-piece reflectors for optimal
performance2

The performance specifications in this table apply to antennas categorized under “Configuration 1” in the associated wind speed and sway bar selection guide. In most
cases, “Configuration 1” antennas offer a survival wind speed of 200 km/h. However, most 200 km/h antennas (except 4.6 m (15 ft) models) are also available in models
that offer higher survival wind speed performance.

Wind speed and sway bar selection guide

A wind kit, perimeter sway bar and sway bar connecting kit are available to complement your RFS PrimeLine antennas:

A wind kit increases antenna survival wind speed support from An optional perimeter sway bar provides added assurance in
200 km/h (125 mph) to 252 km/h (155 mph). Wind kits give case mistakes are made during installation
customers the flexibility to upgrade survival wind speed support
