Aero/aviation Band Antenna

These Aero/Aviation Band Antenna is manufactured using high-grade anodized aluminum. Powder coating of the complete antenna provides extra protection against corrosion in saline weather present in costal areas. By virtue of sealed active dipole and balun connections of SXO-1503, aero band antenna operates with constant VSWR over 20 MHz. wide band, 117.9 to 138 MHz., and maintains ita s top efficiency over ita s maintenancea free expected life of 10 years and more. Aero/Aviation band antenna has zero percent failure rate during ita s life expectancy.
It can be mounted on top of an antenna-tower for a Omni directional pattern or side mounted for an offset horizontal radiation pattern.

Design & Construction:
The SXO-1503 Aero/Aviation Band Antenna consists of two center fed folded dipoles stacked vertically. The antenna maintains constant gain and VSWR over its bandwidth of 20 MHz., making it highly suitable for single or multi-frequency systems. The center fed dipole ends and cable connections to the dipoles are sealed in epoxy at the end of the boom for protection against weather and imparting rigidity and strength to the dipole structure. Molded joints of phasing harness and N-Female antenna termination connector ensures complete waterproofing and many years of maintenance free operation.

Lightening Protection:
This Aero/Aviation Band Antenna operates at D.C. ground for protection against lightning and immunity to noise.
