The Blackhawk LPDA Antenna is one of the most popular external antenna solutions for poor 3G / 4G voice and data service. This one antenna can be used on any mobile network, in any area without worrying about compatibility. It is the ideal roof-mounted antenna for Cel-Fi repeaters.

The LPDA antenna covers all cellular bands between the 700 and 4000 MHz range with a high peak gain which projects maximum energy in the direction of the cell tower, while maintaining a wide enough beam to capture signal reflections off nearby buildings, hills, and signal scattered by trees.

Blackhawk LPDA Antenna Features

• 11.3 dBi peak gain across lower bands 698 to 960 MHz
• 11.5 dBi peak gain across bands 1695 to 2700 MHz
• 9.5 dBi gain across upper bands 3300 to 4000 MHz
• Ruggedized construction for Australian conditions
• Fully welded, powder coat aluminium design
• Stainless steel mounting clamp included
• 30 cm tail with pre-terminated N Female connector + 10m LMR 240 cable
• Ideal for Telstra, Optus, and Vodafone 3G, 4G & 5G

The antenna was redesigned in late 2019 to cover the new 3.5 GHz 5G band, making it now an ideal solution for LTE-A Pro and 5G high-speed connectivity when mounted in 2×2 or 4×4 MIMO configuration.

A Log Periodic Dipole Antenna, or LPDA for short, is a clever antenna design that provides exceptional wideband performance by phasing a series of elements together, much like an ordinary Yagi but with each successive element of a smaller (or larger) length. The result of this clever engineering is an antenna that holds high gain, with good tuning, across the entire cellular frequency range.
