Part of the Alaris Antennas product range

The MONO-A0082 is a wideband dual monopole antenna that covers the frequency range of 1 MHz to 30 MHz at an input power of 2.5 kW. The antenna pattern is essentially omni-directional, making it ideal for wideband high-power applications such as improvised explosive device (IED) suppression. This antenna has a nice compact footprint when mounted and being relatively light in weight makes it suitable for any rapid deployment applications like vehicles and shelter roof tops where larger antennas would be impractical. The whips can be tied back in a variety of ways to ensure best performance and mobility trade-offs. The whip sections of the antenna are easily removed from the base and then stored in a canvas bag for easy transportation and storage. For most applications the base can then remain attached as a fixed low profile installation that also gets a canvas bag to cover it when not in use. This further reduces the assembly time to only a couple of minutes in the field. The assembly mechanism is designed to be highly shock and vibration resistant. The MONO-A0082 is constructed entirely from corrosion-resistant materials and specified over a wide operating temperature range: -40 °C to + 70 °C (no icing).
