    PRODUCT DATASHEET

    618-6

    174-240MHz Sidemount DAB/TV Dipoles


    618 Series
    These vertically polarized antennas for TV and DAB broadcasting applications are intended for use where low
    wind loadings are required. They are designed to be sidemounted to a tower leg or pole and optional mounting
    brackets are available for this purpose.
    The 618 series are fabricated from stainless steel and will handle up to 4kW input power per bay for standard
    models. Beam tilt and null fill can be provided on request.
    Radomes are available for the 618 series if required.
    Multiple element arrays are supplied as a complete package including power dividers and distribution cables.
    An optional input tuner ensures optimum VSWR performance after installation as it enables the effects of tower
    steelwork to be eliminated.
    The 618 series can be arrayed with up to 6 or more bays as required.
    Horizontal radiation patterns can be modified on the RFS antenna test range if required, by adjusting the
    spacing between the antenna and tower.

    FEATURES / BENEFITS

    Rugged construction for maximum corrosion protection


    Broadband operation
    Multi-channel use if required
    Optional pressurization
