The CPAA-18 is a 470–850MHz circularly polarised active receiver antenna with -9 to +18dB variable gain and an ultra-low-noise amplifier.

Circular polarization reduces sensitivity to transmitter antenna orientation and can improve reception in reflective environments. Strong filtering, weather-resistant construction and flexible mounting suit larger wireless deployments.
