SDH SIDE MOUNTED DIPOLES 58-520MHz

Wide Bandwidth Fully Sealed Integral Balun Mechanically Robust Gain Assemblies Available Easy Mounting
Type SDH is a robust folded dipole of exceptional bandwidth suitable for mounting on the side of a mast or tower. Electrical connections are fully sealed. The integral balun minimises interaction between antennas on the same mast and prevents distortion of the polar diagram by feeder radiation. Two or four SDH dipoles can be stacked vertically and fed in phase to give all-round gain of 3dB or 6dB respectively. (Refer to Base Station Antennas Application Notes). Due to the wide bandwidth characteristic of this antenna it is possible to use one antenna for both transmitting and receiving without introducing any loss. The received signal response of type SDH is flat to more than 20% of the centre frequency.
