FD-150-22m HF BROADBAND Folded Dipole

The folded dipole is a resistively terminated broadband antenna which although inefficient compared with
other broadband HF designs* is low cost, compact, light and easily installed. The antenna is an old design
first described in amateur circles in 1951.
Barker and Williamson pioneered commercialization of the design and it is still a popular antenna, in
widespread use. The antenna can be installed as a flat top, sloper or inverted "V".

Our folded dipoles are, as with our other antennas, constructed to the highest quality standards with
aluminium balun and load cases, UV stabilized fiberglass spreaders, cable strain relief and connector weather
shrouding.

SWQ-150-M HF Tactical Broadband Antenna

The SWQ-150-M Tactical, Broad-band Antenna is a portable, HF broad-band antenna
designed specifically for mobile and portable HF communication where rapid deployment and
simplicity of operation is essential. It can also be installed as a semi-permanent base station
antenna.
The antenna will operate at all frequencies in the 2-30 MHz band without any adjustment or
tuning required. It is ideal for use in conjunction with modern, digitally configured, HF
communication transceivers where features such as ALE and frequency hopping require true
broadband capability.
No masts or guying are required. The antenna will work successfully supported by trees, the
tops of vehicles or trucks or any convenient object or structure. The antenna works most
effectively when supported at a reasonable height, but it will also radiate (with lower
efficiency) when stretched out on the ground. (If no support is available)

The radiation pattern of the antenna has a significant vertical component at all frequencies,
making it ideal for NVIS applications. Deployment time is, typically, 15-20 seconds from
unpack to ready to go

The antenna is supplied with Mil. Spec cable and connectors Component case is of rugged
die-cast aluminium and the earth stake is of stainless steel with heavy-duty 0.315 (8mm)
shaft. A 50 (15m) throw line and 16 (5m) ancillary line, of high quality braided nylon cord are

BPV-TM Tactical Mast Series

The BPV-TM series of tactical, field deployable masts are of composite construction and feature strength and
ruggedness combined with very low weight. The masts are push-up and can be extended and retracted
quickly and easily.

The clamping system is moulded from high strength polymer and allows for one handed operation. It exerts
strong locking force on the mast sections and a clamp guard is incorporated to prevent accidental release

The 9.4m mast is constructed of glass composite, the 10m of glass/ carbon-fibre hybrid and the 45m mast is
of carbon-fibre.
It comes complete with guys, guying stakes, base plate and mallet in a canvas carry bag.
Mounting kits for vehicles and shelters are available and can be tailored to meet customer needs.

The mast series is suitable for light head-loads such as tactical HF wire antennas and VHF/ UHF
omnidirectional antennas
