Pharad’s octane® tactical gooseneck antennas are the ideal antenna solution for dismounted applications. We offer broadband omni-directional antennas, SATCOM antennas, and gooseneck extensions that convert your existing antennas into a flexible, user friendly antenna configuration. The Pharad gooseneck mount allows the user to pass directly beneath overhead objects without impediment or injury. These antennas are completely passive, include no loading elements, and require no tuning or adjustments. We presently offer solutions with operational bandwidths from 800 to 6000 MHz exhibiting a VSWR of less than 2:1 for most systems.

In addition to our standard COTS (commercial off the shelf ) antennas, we offer custom engineered solutions that conform to your exact pecifications. We offer various mounting configurations, alternate RF connectors, and can even supply multiple radiator elements within a ingle housing. We can engineer to specific radiation requirements as may be required for dismounted Electronic Warfare applications, round to ground communications, ground to air communications, or SATCOM applications.
