Comprod Communications is the leading designer and manufacturer of Base Station antennas, specializing in Custom and Highly Robust designs.

 

We offer many of the standard antennas in the industry, but exceed in our evolved designs. You can expect to see completely welded versions, Heavy Duty antennas with 200MPH ratings, Black Anodized finishes electrically charged into the aluminum, Full Band Yagis 406-470MHz & 806-960MHz, Yagis in Fiberglass Radomes, Yagis in " thick PVC radomes, Oversized Pipes, Oversized Masts, Oversized Dipoles. For more information on our Ultra Robust antenna line, please refer to our Avalanche Series.

 

 

Many of the differences between our antennas and the ones offered throughout the world, is our quality. Our antennas are all hand built, tested, and shipped with the highest level of care. We offer all of our customers the ability to personally customize each antenna or develop their own.

 

 

As you can see, we have stayed away from offering any fiberglass collinear antennas due to poor strength, bandwidth, and long-term performance. Our Exposed and Enclosed Dipole antennas, not only look strong, but many have even exceeded our own expectations in performance and strength.

 

Comprod's quality standards specify heavy duty antenna support masts, with details that include our own extreme heavy duty custom clamps and water resistant epoxy protected cable junctions. Only the highest quality, corrosion resistant materials are used throughout our products, to ensure long life and superior performance.

 

 

We also offer our Base Station Antennas with Comprod's very own custom machined collar for waterproof welded joints and custom finishes including black anodized finish that protects from icing and corrosion.

 

Configurations include unity gain and high gain omnidirectional and directional arrays, multi-band antennas for simultaneous operation in 150, 450 and 800 MHz bands, exposed dipole arrays, Yagis, corner reflectors and log periodic types.

 

Please feel free to consult one of our Technical Service Representative for free consultation on any future or on-going projects.

    Comprod has access to CNC Machinery, Milling Machinery, PCB Layout Software, Multi-ton Presses, and local production specialists.

 


 

System Planning And Design

 

 

    Each of our customers has a unique system challenge. Whether it is close frequency spacing, limited mounting space, or even has the need for a customized application. Our engineering and technical staff will recommend, consult, and design a system that will not only accommodate a customers exact needs, but in most cases exceed them. Almost all of our system are expandable.

 

    Comprod Communications has just released their new Low PIM filtration systems for the VHF, UHF, 700/800/900 frequencies. A Low PIM filtration system minimizes the number of contact points, dissipates heat quickly, and has as all loops, plunger assemblies, tuning rods and connectors silver plated. Comprod's new Low PIM filtration systems includes complete silver plated plunger assemblies, silver plated loops, silver plated connectors, and plated tuning rods to eliminate the possibilities of rust, while increasing the Q. The number of junctions, connectors, and cables have been decreased in order to minimize the possibilities of Intermod, unlike feed-through and star junction combiners.



Intermodulation Analysis

 

Every system we design is run through a thorough intermodulation simulation. We provide our customers with the highest level of detail and actually simulate the study to the 16th order.

 

Included with every system design drawings are all the details of possible intermodulation hits.

 

     

     












 

               

 

                

 

The measurement device measures powers in dBm:

 

We need to evaluate the intermodulation in terms of dBc
