1. Introduction
The MONO-A0064 is a wideband, high powered, monopole antenna that has been designed to
cover the full frequency band of 500 MHz to 6000 MHz. The antenna is housed in a small, rugged
radome which is mounted onto a solid base plate. The antenna is mounted directly onto a vehicle
roof or elevated groundplane via the base plate giving it a low visual profile.
There is no lossy matching network inside this antenna. It is a passive component antenna that has
been designed to provide excellent GAIN and VSWR characteristics over the full frequency band
with maximum radiation efficiency, especially for high powered transmissions.

2. Installation instructions
Drill holes in vehicle roof or groundplane according to mounting pattern in Figure 2.
Apply a sealant below the heads of the fastening screws and between the washers before
fastening the antenna.
Attach the earthing screw to the vehicle roof or groundplane to ensure that it makes
electrical contact.
Join connector to applicable radio device.
The antenna is now ready for use.
