The Blackhawk LPDA Antenna is one of the most popular external antenna solutions
for poor 3G / 4G voice and data service. This one antenna can be used on any
mobile network, in any area without worrying about compatibility. It is the
ideal roof-mounted antenna for Cel-Fi repeaters.
The LPDA antenna covers all cellular bands between the 700 and 4000 MHz range
with a high peak gain which projects maximum energy in the direction of the cell
tower, while maintaining a wide enough beam to capture signal reflections off
nearby buildings, hills, and signal scattered by trees.
The antenna was redesigned in late 2019 to cover the new 3.5 GHz 5G band, making
it now an ideal solution for LTE-A Pro and 5G high-speed connectivity when
mounted in 2×2 or 4×4 MIMO configuration.
A Log Periodic Dipole Antenna, or LPDA for short, is a clever antenna design
that provides exceptional wideband performance by phasing a series of elements
together, much like an ordinary Yagi but with each successive element of a
smaller (or larger) length. The result of this clever engineering is an antenna
that holds high gain, with good tuning, across the entire cellular frequency
range.
