Hytera AN0435H13 UHF Stubby Antenna for BD502i / BD552i / PD502i Series
The AN0435H13 is the OEM UHF stubby antenna for Hytera BD5i, BD612i, PD4i, and PD5i series portable radios, including the BD502i, BD552i, BD612i, PD402i, PD482i, PD502i, and PD562i. It uses an SMA connector and covers 400–470 MHz. At 9cm (~3.5 inches) with a helical brass core construction, it is the low-profile antenna of choice for belt carry, covert security roles, and environments where antenna snagging is a concern.
Why Professionals Choose the Hytera Antenna AN0435H13
Security personnel and facility managers running BD5i or PD5i radios in confined spaces — hotel corridors, retail floor environments, hospital wards, access-controlled buildings — regularly deal with a specific problem: a 16cm whip antenna snags on doorframes, equipment racks, PPE straps, and uniform pockets during movement. The AN0435H13 at 9cm eliminates that clearance issue without changing the radio body, connector, or any other accessory in the existing kit.
The antenna is a helical design with a brass core — a one-piece construction that handles torsional stress from repeated attachment and removal far better than straight-wire internal elements. This matters in fleet operations where batteries are swapped daily and antennas are handled multiple times per shift. Helical brass construction also makes it less prone to internal wire breakage under lateral flex than soft rubber whip alternatives.
The AN0435H13 covers the full 400–470 MHz UHF band, operates without GPS integration, and is RoHS compliant — consistent with the host radios it serves. The trade-off versus the AN0435W09 whip (16cm) is signal range: the shorter antenna has a slightly reduced radiation pattern, which is acceptable in most indoor commercial environments where repeater infrastructure compensates, but not ideal for open outdoor coverage where maximum range is required.

FAQ
What is the difference between the AN0435H13 and the AN0435W09?
Both cover 400–470 MHz UHF and use an SMA connector. The AN0435H13 is a 9cm stubby helical — the right choice for belt carry, covert roles, and environments where a short profile reduces snagging risk. The AN0435W09 is a 16cm flexible whip — better signal range for open or high-RF-absorption environments. Both are OEM Hytera parts compatible with the same BD5i and PD5i radio platform.
Will the AN0435H13 reduce signal range compared to the standard whip?
Yes — shorter antennas have a lower radiation gain than full-length whip designs. In most indoor commercial environments with repeater infrastructure, the difference is not operationally significant. In open outdoor environments or large industrial facilities without repeater coverage, the AN0435W09 whip (16cm) will provide noticeably better range.

Is this an original Hytera antenna or an aftermarket product?
The AN0435H13 sold by AXDIGITAL is an original Hytera OEM part. It carries Hytera's part number, uses a helical brass core construction matching the factory specification, and is RoHS compliant. AXDIGITAL is an authorized Hytera dealer — we do not stock aftermarket or compatible-replacement antennas for Hytera radios.
