RF Characteristics The DPV-77 is a vertically polarized array of eight dipoles arranged in a collinear array and fed with a microstrip corporate feed network that terminates into a type N connector. The antenna has provisions for mounting an obstruction light on the top the antenna and feeding the power wires through the center of the antenna to a connector at the base of the antenna. Attaching an obstruction light does not degrade RF performance. The DPV-77 was designed for ground-to-air line of sight circuits used for distance measuring equipment ( DME ) for aviation navigation purposes.
