45167324_jpg_iCeU9erSMWATAA 2.avif

 Wavestorm Antennas & Masts delivers a full-spectrum portfolio of RF apertures and support structures engineered for defence, aerospace, maritime and critical-infrastructure applications. Whether you need a simple HF whip for long-range comms, a broadband VHF/UHF omni for rapid-deploy command posts, a rugged Link-16 datalink antenna for tactical networks, a compact L-band omni for SATCOM or MANET, a field-proven UHF TacSat element, or a high-gain X/Y satellite-tracking dish, every solution is built to military-grade standards for reliability, ease of installation and battlefield-proven performance.

Applications & Use Cases

  • Telescoping masts paired with broadband VHF/UHF omni-directionals (750–1 350 MHz) provide immediate 360° coverage for voice and data links

  • Vehicle- or mast-mounted Link-16 antennas (960–1 215 MHz, vertical polarization, 7 dBi gain) sustain jam-resistant, low-latency datalinks for force synchronization

  • Auto-pointing SATCOM dishes (7.25–31 GHz, circular polarization, 38–50 dBi gain) with pedestal mounts ensure persistent Ka/Ku/C-band connectivity—even on moving platforms

  • Rugged UHF/VHF blade and patch antennas (220–380 MHz or 243–380 MHz RHCP, 3.5–6 dBi gain) deliver reliable telemetry and voice links on UAVs, helicopters, patrol boats and ships

  • Guyed towers and tilt-over masts with multiband fixtures support PSBN, telemetry and secure links at airports, ports and power plants

  • Low-profile, flush-mount UHF elements (220–380 MHz, ≥4 dBi gain) and fold-down mast kits enable rapid setup, concealment and teardown for signature-conscious missions

Product Key Features

  • HF (2–30 MHz), VHF (30–300 MHz), UHF TacSat (220–380 MHz), broadband (750–1 350 MHz), Link-16 (960–1 215 MHz), L-band (1.20–2.20 GHz) and X/Y satellite bands (7.25–31 GHz)

  • Gain from ~0 dBi on HF whips up to 49.8 dBi on satellite dishes; typical VSWR ≤1.8:1 on omnis and ≤1.3:1 on tracking reflectors

  • From 50 W CW on HF/VHF whips up to 200 W (50% duty) on broadband omnis and Link-16 elements, ensuring robust link budgets

  • IP67/68 enclosures, MIL-STD shock/vibe qualification, UV- and abrasion-resistant jackets, and temperature operation from –40 °C to +85 °C

  • Quick-release bases, 24 mm spigots, flange-mount patterns, spring-base kits and bolt-together pedestals for rapid field integration

  • Pre-terminated cable looms, lightning arrestors and installation guides streamline deployment and maintenance

Technical Specifications

 Our HF whip antennas cover 2–30 MHz with vertical polarization and deliver approximately 0 dBi of gain. Rated for up to 100 W CW with an SO-239 connector, these 10 ft-long elements operate from –30 °C to +60 °C and mount on fixed whip bases for long-distance NVIS and sky-wave communications.

  • VHF whip antennas span 30–300 MHz, also vertically polarized, providing around 2 dBi of gain and maintaining VSWR below 2:1. They handle 50 W of RF power, terminate on an N-connector, measure about 6 ft in length, and can be mounted via magnetic or permanent bases—ideal for short-range tactical voice links.

  • broadband omni-directional coverage, our 750–1 350 MHz elements use vertical polarization with gain ranging from +5.5 to +7.3 dBi and an average VSWR under 1.8:1. Rated at 200 W (50% duty) on a Type-N female port, these 1 m tall, 24 mm diameter antennas weigh roughly 2.4 kg, withstand –40 °C to +70 °C, and deploy on spring-base mounts for rapid-deploy sites.

  • Our Link-16 tactical datalink antennas operate from 960 to 1 215 MHz with vertical polarization and a nominal 7 dBi gain. With a VSWR limit of 2:1 and 200 W (50% duty) handling on a TNC-female connector, these ∅79 mm × 1 029 mm elements weigh 2.5 kg, survive –40 °C to +50 °C, and mount on standard 24 mm spigots—ensuring jam-resistant service on vehicles and masts.

  • The L-band omni for SATCOM and MANET runs from 1.20 to 2.20 GHz in right-hand circular polarization, offering at least 4 dBi of gain with VSWR below 2:1. Rated for 20 W continuous on an SMA-female port and packaged in a 3.75″×1.25″ puck form factor, it operates across military temperature ranges and mounts via magnet or bolt kit for on-the-move platforms.

  • Our UHF TacSat omnidirectionals cover 243–380 MHz (and a low-profile variant at 220–380 MHz) in RHCP, delivering 3.5–6 dBi of gain at zenith and up to 4.3 dBi at 45°. With VSWR under 2:1, 100 W CW capacity on Type-N or N-female connectors, and size envelopes from 8.5″×15″ to 18″×18″×2.5″, they are flange-mounted for assured vehicle and mast integration.

  • For concealed mounting, our flush-mount UHF element covers 220–380 MHz in RHCP with at least 4 dBi of gain, VSWR below 2:1, and 100 W CW handling on a TNC-female port—measuring just 20″×20″×1.2″ for stealth installations.

  • Finally, our X/Y satellite-tracking dishes span 7.25–31 GHz with circular polarization, offering 38.2–49.8 dBi of gain and axial ratios under 2 dB. Typical VSWR is 1.3:1, using F-type connectors on a 1.35 m reflector (60 lbs), rated for –40 °C to +70 °C operation on bolt-together pedestals—guaranteeing reliable high-throughput BLOS links.
