LPV-1206/1606
3-30 MHz Log Periodic Antenna


Applications:
The LPV-1206 antenna is a fixed station vertically polarized log periodic dipole antenna suitable for short range ground wave circuits and medium to long range skywave circuits in the 3-30 MHz frequency band.
Features:
Multi-stranded wire array, heavy duty aluminum tower, corrosion resistant materials and low maintenance performance are major design achievements incorporated into this antenna, providing lower maintenance cost.
Characteristics:
The LPV-1606 antenna utilizes four independent LPV-1206 series curtains arrayed in a rosette configuration about a single support tower and provides independent sector coverage.
Equipment Supplied:
Prefabricated alumoweld curtain, 6061-T6 aluminum tower, front pole guy wires, anchors, spare hardware.
Optional Equipment:
Galvanized welded steel tower, balun transformer, wood pole, obstruction lights, ladder, climbing devices, erection kit, repair kit and repair tool kit. Coaxial cable, connector adapters and mating adapters.
