RFI COL28 VHF Collinear Antenna, 115-148 MHz
3dBd broadband duplex collinear built for transmit/receive separations up to 4.6MHz.
Overview
The COL28 is a "cut to frequency" collinear antenna covering the 115-148MHz VHF band, designed specifically to cater for transmit-to-receive separations of up to 4.6MHz. The antenna is a series fed collinear housed in a heavy duty tapered fibreglass radome, fitted to an alodined aluminium mounting tube.
The COL28 is specifically designed to maintain stable vertical radiation pattern characteristics at the extremities of its spot-tuned bandwidth, ensuring reciprocity of transmit and receive signal characteristics. It's internally DC grounded for lightning protection and reduced static noise.
Key Features
- 3dBd (5dBi) gain means strong omnidirectional coverage across the VHF band.
- Broadband duplex design means support for transmit/receive separations up to 4.6MHz.
- 200W input power means suitability for base station applications.
- DC grounded design means better lightning protection and reduced static noise.
- Alodined aluminium mounting tube means a robust, corrosion-resistant installation.
Applications
- Base station sites in the 115-148MHz VHF band
- Duplex applications requiring transmit/receive separations up to 4.6MHz
- Single frequency or simplex VHF applications
- Sites where minimal tower loading is required
