GENERAL DESCRIPTION


OMNIDIRECTIONAL, VERTICAL POLARIZATION, BROADBAND - BDP-230/430

photo Antenna Products Corporation BDP-230/430 Applications

The BDP series HF broadband dipole antennas provide excellent performance over short to medium range circuits. The antenna radiation pattern has a high take-off angle at the lower frequencies for short range communication circuits and lower take-off angles at the higher frequencies for medium range communication circuits.

Features

The BDP series HF broadband antennas are designed to permit efficient operation without the use of a tuner. The broadband characteristics of the antenna are achieved without the use of resisitive loading, simplifying the overall antenna construction. Two bolted aluminum towers support the alumoweld radiating antenna dipole element.
