signal characteristic
High immunity to lightning strokes in
the vicinity
Short length (1 m)
Brief description
The HE010 with its low inherent noise can be used as
a broadband test antenna.
The excellent characteristics of the active receiving
antenna are the result of careful matching of the passive
antenna structure to the active circuit. Active antennas are
smaller than comparable passive structures and minimally
coupled to their environment.
