The SAF9700 antenna is a dielectric-loaded, decafilar-helix antenna that uses distinctive
materials technology to provide the highest available efficiency in a small size. The dielectric
core, together with the fly-wheeling effect of the advanced decafilar helical design, provides
excellent beam width and low elevation gain, which is maintained in relatively cluttered use
scenarios. The SAF9700 acts as its own filter, attenuating signals from common cellular and ISM
frequencies by as much as 30 dB.
