Phantom
TM
— Unmatched, Whipless Performance.
Our unique
Phantom
™
is a tough antenna for exterior or interior
applications. The
Phantoms
™ revolutionary patent pending design
features low visibility, wide bandwidth and low angle radiation pattern
that is superior to traditional gain antennas in most applications. It is
available with our industry standard NMO mounting socket for use
with all
ANTENEX
®
Magnetic, Trunk lid, and NMO hole mounts.
We also provide a threaded stud mount model adapted from the
marine antenna industry for brackets, panels or boat mountings.
The
Phantoms
™ patent pending technology is beneficial when high
performance is desired and extreme ruggedness and low profile is
required.
ANTENEX
®
Phantom
antennas have been used in
Phantom™
NASCAR™ Winston Cup Series events, and have proven effective
in maintaining constant communication between driver and pit crew.
This is essential in the demanding and dynamically diverse
environment of high banking race courses where it has flawlessly
withstood the vibration and wind loads of speeds in excess of 180
miles per hour. Note: A change in NASCAR™ rules requires that all
Phantom
™ antennas be mounted inside the race car.

now available in either white or black ABS plastic. ABS plastic
is highly shock resistant. Both can be painted to the color of
your application by using a nonmetallic paint.

D
ESIGN
:
The revolutionary patent pending whipless
design of our
Phantom™
antenna allows car washes without
removing the antenna. Whipless means they don't look like
antennas, attract less attention, less vandalism, and have
lower wind resistance.
P h a n t o m s
™ are also less
susceptible to be broken by trees and garages.
F
IELD
D
IVERSITY
:
Field diversity means that the antenna is
simultaneously sensitive to both the electric and magnetic
fields of the signal, like having two antennas. Field diversity
makes the antenna resistant to the picket-fence fading that
is always found in urban operation.
