What is the Difference Between the BXA and the BXA FP Series?
The BXA series is Amphenol Antel’s line of slant +/- 45°, dual-polarized antennas. The BXA FP series features the same antennas, redesigned for concealment applications. Since the most common type of concealment application is a flag pole, “FP” for “Flag Pole” was added to the model number. The only difference between the BXA and BXA FP antenna models is mechanical. In the most typical concealment configuration, three antennas are mounted around a pipe and covered with a concealment radome. In order to allow the smallest diameter concealment radome, we adjust the antennas “z-bracket” and use u-bolts for mounting, keeping the antennas as close to the pipe as possible. In some instances the mechanical change isn’t necessary or cannot be done. Check the antenna specification sheet to determine which type of bracket is used.
