Broadband VHF/UHF Communications Antenna System
Key facts Compact VHF/UHF transmitting/receiving antenna system for naval applications The R&S®AD066FW is an omnidirectional VHF/UHF antenna system for naval applications. The system can be used for transmitting and for receiving only. The R&S®AD066FW consists of the R&S®AD066F broadband VHF/UHF communications antenna, the R&S®FT066F beamforming network and the applicable R&S®AD066FW-K cable sets. Eight vertically polarized dipoles are circularly arranged around a center support structure and combined by the beamforming network (BFN) to one output, resulting in an excellent omnidirectional behavior. The beamforming network can also be custom-designed to meet special customer requirements. The R&S®AD066FW can fit around mast diameters of up to 700 mm. The antenna is delivered in eight identical segments for easy mounting and servicing.
