VHF omnidirectional antenna for vertical polarization

The R&S®HK012E VHF coaxial dipole is a vertically polarized omnidirectional antenna for both stationary and mobile use. It can operate even in tough mechanical and climatic conditions, covering the receive and transmit frequency range from 100 MHz to 174 MHz.
A mast stub mounted on the dipole base plate provides a convenient antenna interface for customer applications.
The entire antenna system is splash water resistant.
The antenna may be installed suspended or standing upright.

Features & benefits

Strong protection against lightning strikes

Protects personnel and equipment

All metallic parts of the R&S®HK012E are DC grounded to direct potential overvoltage surges such as lightning strikes into the ground, protecting personnel and connected equipment.

Low weight, minimal wind load

For easy mounting

Thanks to its lightweight design and low wind load, the R&S®HK012E can be mounted on masts and structures which are not designed for heavy loads.

Rugged design

Designed to operate even in tough mechanical and climatic conditions

Thanks to its sturdy design and low wind load, the R&S®HK012E can withstand wind speeds of up to 275 km/h. It is designed for high shock and vibration requirements like e.g. on board ships.

RCS optimized

The shape of the R&S®HK012E has been optimized during the design phase, which is important for the electrical behavior of the antenna, e.g. its radiation pattern. The antenna shape also determines the radar cross section (RCS). For deployment on naval vessels, the RCS must be as low as possible.
