Main beam elevation location: Between 2° and 5° above horizon
Slope (Vicinity of horizon): .44 dB/°, .05 V/V/°
Power Handling Capability: Up to at least 10 kW peak RF power at 3% duty cycle
Impedance: 50 ohm nominal
VSWR: Not greater than 2:1 (960-1215 MHz) measured at end of low loss cable not exceeding 5 feet in length.
Vertical Field Pattern: The radiation pattern of the antenna in the vertical plane has a lobe of energy not less than 10 degrees wide at the half-power points. The power gain at angles between 6 and 50 degrees below the horizon shall be lower than the power gain at the peak of the major lobe above the horizon by at least 8 dB. The power gain at angles between 6 and 15 degrees above the horizon shall be greater than a level which is 20 dB below the power gain at the peak of the major lobe above the horizon. The power gain at angles between 15 and 45 degrees above the horizon shall be greater than a level which is 30 dB below the power gain at the peak of the major lobe above the horizon.
Size: 77 13/16" long, 8 radiator assemblies (driven elements) plus a choke assembly at each end, 3 1/4" OD radome. Has top cap and base flange. 82.5" Long x 8" Dia x 37 lbs in shipping container.
Weight: 21 lbs. (excluding obstruction light and mounting fixtures and other optional items). 38 lbs in shipping container.
Physical Design: A metal tube, 1.5" OD x 1.43" ID (.040" wall thickness) runs through center of antenna for full length. RF transmission line assembly and obstruction light power lines are located within this tube. Also used as lightning down conductor.
Weather Proofing: Entire Antenna, including all cable connectors is weather proofed such that removal/replacement of radome is possible without sealing compounds.
Antenna Mounting: The configuration of the antenna base is such that the antenna can be mounted directly or indirectly through use of optional adapter(s).
Temperature: Operational Temperature Range -50 degrees C to +70 degrees C.
Wind Loading: Withstands without damage 100 mile per hour gusts
Monitor Ports: Two coupling probes for monitoring the signal radiated by the antenna. Located within the radome. 50 ohm nominal impedance. Optional probe output level is 23 dB ± 5 dB for J2 and 30 dB ± 5 dB for J3 below power level applied to main RF input connector.
Obstruction Light(s): Optional dual, red lamp obstruction light fixture. Connector is MS-3112E8-3P, 13 1/2'H x 12"W x 4"D 5.3 lbs.
Connectors RF: Type N Female, 3 each.
Pipe Adapter: Solid cast aluminum part (A356-T6). Painted white. Adapts 4" OD pipe to antenna base. 12"H x 8" greatest diameter, 8.3 lbs, excluding cover, stainless steel cover weight 1.5 lbs.
