VHF/UHF Digital Antenna

Frequency Range : 30 MHz to 512 MHz
Part Number : S65-8282-831
VHF/UHF Digital Antenna

Current state of the art in digitally-tuned antenna technology. This antenna provides high-gain VHF/UHF performance. Frequency tuning in the VHF/UHF band is accomplished by using a solid-state microprocessor technology with switching speeds of less than 50 microseconds and supporting secure frequency-hopping voice communications.
The S65-8282-831 antenna is tunable from 30 MHz to 88 MHz and has four to ten times more gain in, both transmit and receive, the crucial 30-88 MHz frequency band, than in other comparable passive antennas.
The aerodynamic composite blade of the antenna houses a microprocessor-based logic controller, RF tuning circuitry and DC switching power supply resulting in a single antenna package. Frequency setting information is transmitted directly to the antenna from the radio via a multi-pin connector. Tuning of the inductor circuits is achieved by the logic controller via PIN diodes. The antenna operates on a standard 28 VDC power source. The antenna is ideal for applications with severe mounting concerns.
The S65-8282-831 antenna is compatible with Rockwell Collins ARC-210, Raytheon ARC-231, and R&S M3AR Series 6000.
Federal & Military Certifications:
MIL-HDBK-5400 and MIL-STD-810.
