RF Elements StarterAdapter SMA Connector Adapter (STA-SMA)
RF elements STA-SMA StarterAdapter™ (RP-SMA Coaxial Interface)
Overview:
The STA-SMA StarterAdapter™ is a waveguide-based adapter that connects StarterDish™ antennas to any third-party radio with a standard RP-SMA female coaxial interface. It provides dual linear H+V polarization and operates across 5150–5950 MHz with VSWR well below 1.8.
Description:
The RF elements STA-SMA is a station adapter that bridges the StarterDish™ antenna family and radios equipped with SMA-RP connectors. Its waveguide-based construction introduces practically zero attenuation in the waveguide part, and the transition from coaxial connectors to the waveguide feeder is optimized for minimum loss. The adapter delivers wideband performance with VSWR below 1.8 across the entire 5150–5950 MHz spectrum. Dual linear H+V polarization is provided through two independent RP-SMA female coaxial interfaces. This design allows StarterDish™ antennas to be used directly with any third-party radio.
Key Highlights:
- RP-SMA female coaxial interface for StarterDish™ antennas
- Dual linear H+V polarization
- VSWR below 1.8 across 5150–5950 MHz
- Waveguide-based design for minimal loss
- Optimized low-loss coaxial-to-waveguide transition
- Standard interface compatible with third-party radios
