SATCOM GROUND STATION ANTENNA

Design Features The LP-210-500 log periodic dipole antenna is a broadband, compact directional antenna, providing continuous communications coverage across the spectrum of 210-500 MHz. The LP-210-500 LP antenna applications include rapid deployment of emergency low-UHF communications, military LOS and SATCOM operations, frequency hopping and jamming sources, spectrum monitoring and management, surveillance, radio scanners, global and wide area SCADA systems and metrology. The LP-210-500 antenna can be used to establish an immediate field command and control center after any natural disaster, where the communications infrastructure has been disrupted, or use it for frequency agile, or wideband Spread Spectrum tactical military traffic, or use it with your Ham Radio or commercial gear to operate on 220 and 406-512 MHz, or more than one channel simultaneously. This high gain LPA provides strong performance over the entire frequency of 210-500 MHz as the LPDA does not use loading technique to reduce the overall size of array.

Constructions The LP-210-500 assembled log periodic antennas outer-most dimensions are 0.6 meter (2 feet) long and 0.72 meter (25 Inches) wide. The antenna has foldable elements, the longest of which is 0.75 meter. All elements are supplied in two segments for easy of shipping and handling. The elements are attached via a fast deployment self-locking device at points along the boom. The specially designed mounting arrangement results in fast installation. The extra spacers are used between the support booms to improve mechanical durability of antenna. The log periodic antenna operates at D.C. ground with low resistance discharge path for protection against lightning and immunity to noise. All the screws, nuts and bolts of log periodic dipole antenna are made of marine grade stainless steel.
