PRLog -- Pharad has taken quickly deployable and covert communications to the next level with their series of easy-to-use, commercial-off-
the-shelf Peel & Stick Appliqué antennas. These recently released antennas cover a unique variety of applications due to their flexible form factor and low visibility design; they can be mounted to car windows, UAVs, and even vegetation.
The Peel & Stick Appliqué antennas provide a high quality radiating solution, while still being nearly as thin as a piece of paper (less than 10 mils thick) and also very lightweight;
weighing less than 1 oz. A durable one-time use pressure sensitive adhesive on one side of the radiator allows the Pharad Peel & Stick Appliqué antenna to adhere to the surface. The application process takes only seconds to complete.
“Our Peel & Stick Appliqué antennas are very user-friendly;
just peel off the backing like you would a sticker and apply,” said Pharad Vice President Rod Waterhouse. “When we were first developing these ultra-thin antennas, we took into account that our customers use our antennas for many different applications. This naturally factored into our design for the Peel & Stick Appliqué antennas, which allows our antenna to work on a variety of surfaces using the same easy application.”
The Pharad Peel & Stick Appliqué antennas are suitable for non-metallic and non-carbon fiber composite surfaces such as those constructed of fiberglass, Kevlar, or polypropylene;
materials commonly for small UAVs. Pharad offers nine models of the ultra-thin antennas which cover the multi-band frequency range of 350 – 6000 MHz.
