VHF Ground Independent Mopole 77 - 85MHz - MBC Base
RFI CD17-27-50 VHF Ground Independent Mopole 77 - 85MHz - MBC Base
The CD17 Series are ground plane independent Mopole™ antennas which provide excellent performance in a “compromise” mounting position. The CD17 also provide an extended bandwidth in a physical arrangement which is ideal for every application from sedans to the heaviest industrial vehicles.
Features:
• Ground independent Mopole™ design allows installation in a variety of mounting locations • Bandwidth of over 3MHz for VSWR <1.5:1 accommodates most duplex requirements • High impedance matching transformer allows end feeding of electrical half wave element • Shortened half wave radiators suit restricted height applications
NOTE:The CD17 is a highly compressed 1/2 wave antennas and although they function independently of a ground plane, perform markedly better if earthed. Earthing via a gutter or mirror style bracket will ensure the best possible field performance.
