For stationary use and 1 kW transmit power

The R&S®HX002H0 HF dipole with ATU enables optimum coverage of all distance ranges. It is particularly useful for radiocommunications over short and medium distances since skip zones can degrade vertical rod antenna transmission reliability at distances of less than 1000 km. The fully automatic ATU is integrated in the antenna, providing perfect matching to the transmitting system and making available full RF output power capabilities. The high antenna efficiency comes from locating the matching network directly at the dipole feed point.

Features & benefits

High RF power in a small antenna

The R&S®HK002H0 features relatively small, five-meter-long, dipole based radiators. The integrated fully automatic antenna tuning unit provides perfect matching of these radiators to the transmitting system, enabling full RF output power capabilities of up to 1 kW.

High efficiency

The R&S®HX002H0 uses only low-loss capacitors and air-core coils for matching and has no attenuators such as resistor-damped structures, making it more efficient and sending more power into the airwaves.

HF-cable-only interface

The R&S®HX002H0 has a single cable interface. Just one cable carries all the signals (RF, power supply and control), making installation and system integration both easier and more reliable.

High compatibility with a variety of transceivers

The R&S®GX002 junction unit fully controls and powers the R&S®HX002H0. The junction unit handles all communications to and from the transceiver. Universal LAN, coaxial and optical port interfaces allow the junction unit to work with the latest shortwave transceivers, older Rohde & Schwarz transceivers in legacy applications and transceivers from other manufacturers.

Fully autonomous mode

The combination of the R&S®GX002 junction unit and the R&S®HX002H0 enables operations in "autonomous mode". This requires very few control signals and allows third-party transceivers to operate without control protocol adjustments.
