VHF Side Mounted Dipole Antennas eros SDC ‘The SMD1 Series side mounted dipoles are broad band antennas which, through different phasing and mounting arrangements, can offer a variety of pattems (generally cardioid) tailored to specific ‘coverage requirements. These antennas can be mounted in dual or four-stack arrays for 6B gain over a single The SMD1 is constructed of heavy gauge corrosion resistant anodised aluminum tubing with @ high pressure cast aluminum hub assembly and stainless steel ftings, This combination provides an ‘exceptionally strong antenna, suited for extreme weather conditions. The SMD12, is a ruggedized antenna featuring extremely heavy walled tubing, all welded alodined aluminum construction and a black epoxy coating to aid in solar heat retention. The SMD14 is a stainless steel version and is ideal in corrosive marine environments. All of the antennas are electrically identical SMD antenna construction allows for the entire antenna to rest at ground potential making it highly recommended in lightning prone applications. Can be phased to provide 3dBd or 6dBd gain in a variety of patterns to suit specific requirements. See page 78 for our full range of phasing hamesses, Full bandwidth coverage for both single antennas and phased arrays - ideal in community sites Ruggedized and stainless steel versions available Normally available ex-stock for immediate delivery ‘SMD sores antennas are supplied wi a boom for 4 wave antenna to mast spacing.
