HIGH GAIN AVIATION BAND ANTENNA

Design Features: CD-100-156 aviation dipole antenna is an omni-directional antenna for vertically polarized waves. CD-100-156 Omni-directional aviation dipole antenna is rugged all weather model, enclosed in a ABS radome, uses6063T6 ultra corrosion resistant aluminum alloy and does not require any field tuning or adjustments. The compact size of omni-directional aviation dipole antenna allows easy handling, shipping and highly suitable for ATC sites without having the requirement of multiple antennas. The aviation dipole antenna features high suppression of skin current which provides the smooth VSWR over the 100-156MHz frequency band. Cylindrical enclosure is used for low wind loading and for minimal effect of ice formation on the antenna operation as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Due to sturdy design the aviation dipole antenna is highly suitable for fixed station application, shipboard mounting and mobile application.

Constructions: The aviation dipole antenna is consisting of round diameter radiating elements stacked vertically and enclosed in ABS radome. The special “Choke and Spark Gap” technique is used for constant superior performance over the entire 100-156 MHz. frequency band. The UV resistant ABS enclosure has excellent transparency for RF signals and enough strength to withstand specified wind loads. The N-Female termination of antenna is fixed at the bottom of the mounting pipe for complete weather protection. The marine grade type 316 stainless steel mounting brackets are supplied with the air band dipole antenna.
