Broadband centre fed portable dipole system

- for VHF Air Band communications

The MDA Portable offers high performance broadband communications with high angle beam tilt and integral passive matching network housed within the antenna. The antenna extends from just 460mm (18.1 in) to 1.25m (4.1 ft) in seconds (3 sections). Connection is via the existing RF coaxial connector on the transceiver. VSWR is typically <2:1 with 2.2 dBi gain. Construction is of marine grade low corrosion aluminium and stainless steel.

The BCA200-1300 is a new generaltion multi-band VHF/UHF system. The system provides ground/sea to air communications for multiple transceivers over the UHF (225-400) and Link 16 tactical bands (960-1215 MHz) as well as the VHF marine band and UHF cellphone frequencies in the one antenna and incorporates a band stop flter to reduce interference.

It is designed to free up valuable space on board and reduce costs, interference and risk of failure. Low VSWR is achieved over the entire range with radiation characteristic tailored to minimise the effects of movement at sea.

The BDR2/400 is suitable for both land mobile and base station applications. It offers excellent performance in the 225-400 MHz tactical band. It is designed to yield a low VSWR with radiation characteristic optimised for both ground to ground and ground to air operation. The antenna is completely radome enclosed and sealed against water and insect ingress. A special magnetic mount is available for vehiclular mounting.
