The new Amphenol Procom ProMobile catalogue can now be downloaded from this website. Get a quick overview of how Amphenol Procom mobile antennas can help you connect your organisation's vehicle or device to GNSS/LTE/5G.

Our website has a section allowing you to download the full range of Amphenol Procom catalogues. Each catalogue provides details of the latest ATEX, DAS, IoT and TETRA Combiner ranges.

There are a multitude of factors to consider when sourcing a commercial antenna. Firstly and most importantly is the frequency band. If the antenna is not working efficiently at the desired frequency then much of the transmitted signal will be reflected back from the antenna, rather than radiated from it. This reflected power, not only is wasted energy, but potentially can cause damage to the transmitter. Likewise, in the receive path, a poorly matched antenna will not pass signals efficiently to the receiver, thus degrading system performance.

We recently published our latest email newsletter. The newsletter contained a summary of our latest company news and useful information about our product range.

The new Amphenol Procom ”HybridLine” cross-polarized panel series (covering LTE450 but also LTE700/800/850 in one product) has been designed to offer a very stable radiation pattern over two separate bands of operation. This approach enables the use of the antenna for multi-carrier operation and use when site sharing is also a requirement.

If you install Amphenol Procom antennas in the maritime environment, you may consider looking further into the MariFix barrel spring. This spring is an ideal addition to Amphenol Procom marine antennas that operate in hostile weather conditions at sea.

Simply put, a combining system places multiple transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) signals onto a single common port. Within a combining system, a Tx combiner gathers all transmit signals together onto a single output port whilst a Receive Multicoupler will take incoming signals and split them to feed multiple receivers. If the Tx output and Rx input are both fed into the Tx and Rx ports on a duplexer then the resulting common (Ant) port carries both signals to/from a single antenna creating a multi-channel RF combining system.

antennaPRO, UK distributor for Amphenol Procom, will showcase its latest connectivity products at BAPCO 2023 between the 7th -8th March 2023 at the Coventry Building Society Arena. On show will be samples of its extensive range of antenna, duplexer, combiner and filtering solutions from Amphenol Procom.

PIM stands for Passive Intermodulation which means an unwanted signal created by the mixing of two or more RF signals, caused by the nonlinearity of the passive components in the RF path such as antennas, filters, cables or connectors. The signals will mix or multiply with each other to generate other signals that are related to the first ones. PIM can occur in a variety of areas from coaxial connectors to cables, even rusty bolts or any joint where dissimilar metals occur.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is generally used to describe objects “Things” used to connect physical objects over a wireless or IP network to exchange, store and collect data. The data is collected by sensors (endpoint devices). One of the benefits of the IoT is that businesses have access to more data about their products and their internal systems and a greater ability to make changes as a result.
