Can be designed for any application!
MegaWave's broadband antenna
designs are suitable for spread spectrum systems and fast frequency hopping
applications. We can develop a custom design using our proven techniques
to meet your electrical and mechanical requirements. The advanced prototype
unit shown mounted on a high speed assault craft operates in the military
HF, VHF and UHF bands and the marine VHF band. The antenna contains a fixed
tuned base matching network and can be designed with a custom multicoupler
for SIMOP. The unit shown has a frequency range of 5-900 MHz. Coverage
to 3 MHz is possible with an optional accessory kit. In addition, a recent
version of this antenna adds the IFF (1030-1090 MHz) band. It can be broken
down quickly for compact storage and weighs only 15 lbs. Its rugged construction
allows survival in winds up to 60 knots.
Please call with your custom requirements.
MegaWave has also designed a broadband replacement whip for automobiles.
The same size as a stock 32" whip, the broadband whip covers the
40-1600MHz band.
During this program, conducted
for the US Army CECOM, MegaWave confirmed the feasibility of providing wideband
coverage from 1.5 to 150 MHz with a relatively short antenna. The resulting
antenna was designed to be used for spread spectrum, frequency hopping systems,
wide surveillance, and jamming. It handles up to 500 W average, and covers
1.5 to 150 MHz with a VSWR of <2.5:1. The band is covered in two segments,
1.5 to 20 MHz and 20 to 150 MHz. Without the top loading, the antenna operates
from 4-150 MHz. The antenna is broadband, and within each band, no tuning
is required to change frequencies. The appropriate matching network for
the band in use is selected remotely via an |
