When solid coverage in communication systems is crucial, COJOT has the answer.

In today’s demanding world of communications, especially in mobile tactical communication antenna applications where the RF system in use is moving and continuously changing its position, it is vital that the antenna on offer is capable of providing a reliable coverage and supports operation in a broad frequency band.

COJOT excels in these requirements and is therefore a sought-after partner in providing reliable, rugged and low-profile wideband antenna solutions for today’s tactical communication applications. We offer field-proven VHF/UHF  antennas and suitable accessories for the military manpack, handheld and vehicle segment, including solutions for fixed installations such as masts or shelters. Our range of low- and high-gain wideband antennas is ideally suited for the latest multiband tactical radios used in e.g. public safety, ground based and ground-to-air applications.

Have a look at a selection of our tactical communication antennas below:

Vehicle Antennas

WD2250M | 225 – 512 MHz | 100W

HD2245M | 225 – 512 MHz | 75W

Fixed Site Antennas

HD2245M-B | 225 – 512 MHz | 75W

WR2250B | 225 – 512 MHz | 100W

Portable Antennas

WD2250G | 225 – 512 MHz | 20W

WD2245RQ | 225 – 512 MHz | 60W

With a typical vertical holding force of 280N, our omnidirectional mid- to high-band magnetic-mount antennas feature a strong, rugged magnet base for temporary mounting on suitable magnetic surfaces such as a vehicle roof or engine hood.

The mag-mount grips the applicable surface very well, making it the perfect solution where a quick mobile setup and removal is required.

HD827W (790 – 2700 MHz)

WBC15830W (130 – 2700 MHz)

E1215W (L1/L2 GPS)

WB525W (500 – 6000 MHz)

WB460W (420 – 6000 MHz)

Selecting the right antenna for the right application and integrating it correctly into a Radio Frequency (RF) system is imperative.

Particularly in Electronic Countermeasure (ECM Antenna) applications, where RF systems are used to prevent the detonation of Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) it is vital to understand the technological characteristics of wideband antennas. As a leading provider of wideband antennas for manpack/handheld and vehicle applications we provide highly reliable and effective omnidirectional antenna solutions.

COJOT supplies Switched Beam Antennas (SBAs) for different frequency bands with support for MIMO (multiple input multiple output) – featuring dual RF inputs/outputs that are connected to a different polarization of the radiator elements. MIMO is an essential requirement as modern Radio Systems are often relying on this to enhance the capacity or coverage of a radio network.

COJOT SBAs are currently in use at major global players in multiple applications – fielded to Tactical Communication networks both on land and at sea. These contain fixed Point-to-Multipoint as well as Mobile-Ad-Hoc-Networks (MANET). SBAs fit extremely well to these kind of adapting networks like MESH – where on top of higher layer routing, physical RF link routing can also be utilized.

2x2MIMO System

Spectrum monitoring and management are key factors in these kind of modern communication networks and with different beam modes and fast beam steering capabilities, COJOT SBAs provide an ideal solution for these – offering enhanced LPI/LPD resistance.

SBA Enhances LPI/LPD Resistance

Automatic and quick network setup and management 

In addition to superior performance features and enhancements, COJOT beam steering antennas can also improve and facilitate common basic routines in a wireless network. One such example is when you add a new node to a mobile network, it is often problematic and time-consuming to manually allocate the precise direction of the best signal with directional antennas. However, using a SBA in omni-mode, the new node can join the network immediately and the link can be optimized afterwards by searching for the strongest signal using the SBA’s narrow beam. Similarly, the wide beam mode provides faster scanning time. The possibility to utilize sharp beams within a frame rate over the 360-degree area opens many possibilities for network management and usage of advanced network routing protocols like OSPF (Open Shortest Path First).
