Antenna Car radio and cellular
antennas need a protective
coating to protect the
antenna from mechanical
abuse, abrasion and
corrosion. The majority of
antennas are straight and
smooth and are typically
painted or dip-coated.
However, some antennas
have a glas or fibre winding
that extends around part or
all of the antenna. In these
cases a different protective
covering is needed to hold
the winding in place over
the antenna base and
provide abrasion protection
to the entire assembly.
Eliminating wind noise
is also a critical factor in
antenna design.
