Tactical direction finding

Spectrum monitoring antennas

CRFS spectrum monitoring antennas provide well-controlled gain response over a wide frequency range so that signals in any part of the spectrum can be captured with good fidelity

SMA Comparison

Overview

CRFS spectrum monitoring antenna kits are compatible with any RFeye Node and can be deployed alongside Compact Direction Finding (DF) Heads. With excellent performance and rugged construction, they are ideal for both fixed and tactical spectrum monitoring, even in extreme environments.

Antenna kit comparison

CRFS offers spectrum monitoring antenna kits to meet customer requirements. Options include directional and omnidirectional antennas for both fixed installations and mobile platforms such as unmanned systems (UxS). The table below shows omnidirectional spectrum monitoring antennas supplied with the range of Rapid Deployment Kits (RDKs).
