Betso Bowtie Wideband Bag Antenna

Made to mount on a sound bag, the Betso Bowtie is a compact wideband antenna that covers 470 to 700 MHz with an omnidirectional pattern in the horizontal plane.

Standard whip antennas are tuned to a fairly narrow band, so they have to be changed to match the wireless system in use. The Bowtie covers that whole range, so one antenna serves every system in the band.

A 700 MHz low-pass filter is built in. It removes LTE, 3G, GSM, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi signals before they reach the receiver, where they would otherwise cause intermodulation and cut the system’s range.

The antenna is made of glass-reinforced epoxy laminate with a scratch-resistant textured paint, and holes in the laminate cut weight and wind load. The sealed construction is rated IP65 for indoor and outdoor use. A sealed BNC connector carries the RF output, and a 1/4 in thread takes the mount.

The Betso Bag Antenna Holder is adjustable, folds flat, and fits most sound bags, including solid-frame bags from ORCA and K-Tek. A BNC to BNC and a BNC to right-angle SMA cable, each 30 cm long, connect the antenna to a receiver or multicoupler.
