This will typically be used for personal protection and to counter the threat of IEDs.
The huge operational range of this device, from 2.5GHz to 6.0GHz, means that it can be used to counter any threat from RF equipment including mobile phones, 3.5G, 4G, WIMAX and RADAR, while the high power output enables it to operate across a wide geographic radius.The 8780 measures just 65 x 120 x 25 mm. This makes it approximately the size of a cigarette packet, and certainly one of the smallest, if not the smallest device on the market.
The 8780 has a minimum power output of 25 watts, at which level its efficiency is at least 15 per cent or higher and its gain is 47dBm, yet the harmonic level is relatively low at
