HF Broadband Vertically Polarised Log Periodic Antenna

Models: AT VLP-2-28, AT VLP-2.7-28 and AT VLP-4-28

Our HF Broadband Vertical Log Periodics are almost 100% efficient and are short to medium range antennas. The design concentrates radiation vertically at the higher (overhead) radiation angles making it suitable for short range NVIS HF communications (0-300kms) and for medium range transmissions.

The high angles of radiation make the antennas very suitable for ground to air communications. In the horizontal plane the antenna is essentially omni-directional.

No resistive terminations are used so the radiation efficiency is very high.

A single tower supports the antenna and no additional stub masts are needed. Compared with other large HF Broadband antennas the area of land required for installation is small.

The antenna is suitable to mount on a wide range of commercially available guyed triangular lattice towers.

Power ratings are available from 100 watts CW to 10 kilowatts CW
