MWA-12 Microwave Antenna 12GHz – Directional Log-Periodic Antenna for Bug Detectors
MWA-12 Microwave Antenna – 12GHz
The MWA-12 Microwave Antenna is a professional-grade accessory designed to extend the detection range of near-field RF detectors (bug detectors). Optimized for frequencies above 2GHz, this antenna significantly improves reception for modern wireless signals such as 3G, 4G/LTE upper bands, Wi-Fi (2.4GHz & 5GHz), Bluetooth, and wireless cameras.
By filtering out lower frequencies and focusing on the 2–12GHz spectrum, the MWA-12 ensures more efficient detection of covert devices transmitting in higher frequency ranges. For a full sweep, repeat detection with the standard antenna included with your RF detector.
With its log-periodic directional design and 6 dBi forward gain, the antenna provides precise detection capabilities. The included tripod can be mounted for stable use or converted to handheld mode for manual probing and locating procedures.
