Professional High-Gain Dual-Band Heavy-Duty Base Station Radiating Infrastructure
The Diamond VX-50N is a commercial-grade, dual-band omnidirectional vertical base station antenna engineered to deliver exceptional signal gain, wide radiation apertures, and rugged environmental resilience for fixed station radio grids. Fabricated with a premium, heavy-duty single-section fiberglass radome structure, this high-performance antenna isolates its internal radiating elements from moisture, ultraviolet degradation, and atmospheric corrosive agents. Precision-tuned to simultaneously operate across the VHF (144 MHz) and UHF (430 MHz) spectrums, it serves as a critical network deployment asset for commercial dispatch centers, marine port stations, ham radio base nodes, and high-volume B2B radiocommunication accessory wholesale distribution channels across European markets.
The electrical layout features advanced internal phasing configurations optimized for an aggressive low-angle radiation pattern, projecting a high signal gain profile of 4.5 dBi on VHF (configured as a 6/8 wave typology) and an outstanding 7.2 dBi on UHF (configured as a stacked 3 x 5/8 wave array). This structural configuration maximizes line-of-sight coverage while safely sustaining a maximum continuous power rating of 100W. Built to withstand extreme coastal or high-altitude installations, the aerodynamic frame boasts an officially verified wind resistance rating of up to 60 meters per second. Outfitted with a standard 50 Ohms impedance profile and terminating in a low-loss, heavy-duty N-Female mechanical interface socket, this 1.7-meter vertical antenna kit guarantees absolute base station operational fleet readiness.
