BDH330
Broadband Biconical Dipole 3 - 30MHz

This broadband series of antennas covering 3 to 30MHz are designed for short to medium range transmitting or receiving applications. Polarization is horizontal and pattern essentially omnidirectional.

• These antennas, being broadband, do not require tuning, thus eliminating the need for any form of antenna tuning unit (ATU) with its associated losses.
• No terminating resistors are employed and so full power is available for radiation.
• The broadband feature is ideal for multi-channel or frequency agile synthesized HF radio equipment.
• The antenna comprises two horizontal conical sections, the elements of which are connected in the centre to a common feed line. Either a 300-ohm balanced line, or a 50-ohm coaxial feeder with a balun option may be used to feed the antenna.
• Average power rating of the standard antenna is 10kW with higher rating for special order.
• Baluns are available with an average power rating of 1kW and 10kW. Higher ratings are also available.

1. Other power ratings available on request. Contact RFS.
2. Radiation Patterns are above average ground.
3. 0° on azimuth radiation patterns corresponds to the reference direction shown on the antenna ground dimension diagram.
