RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Southwest Antennas’ “cloverleaf” configuration of omni antennas. Dubbed ‘Turbo Cloverleaf’, these antennas are 3x smaller than existing solutions yet maintain similar antenna gain, efficiency and excellent radiation pattern control over the entire operational frequency band. Model 1032-024 is a right hand circular polarized (RHCP) Omni cloverleaf antenna with 2.3 – 2.5 GHz frequency band coverage and 1.2 dBi gain. Model 1032-025 is a left hand circular polarized (LHCP) antenna. Both models from Southwest Antennas offer 40 dB of isolation between two co-located antennas with opposite CP polarizations, which is a significant improvement…
