CXL 2-3
3 dBd Collinear Antenna for the Base Station and Maritime
VHF Band
DESCRIPTION
This antenna is especially developed for the base station and maritime
VHF band and it is used when more gain is required than obtainable
with standard ½ λ dipoles.
The 1” revolving nut mounting system is standard throughout the
maritime sector, and several different mounting brackets are available,
making it possible to install the antenna either on the masthead, side
mounted on the mast or mounted on the cross-beam. Also, the antenna
can be mounted on deck or rooftop by means of the FLG. (See
accessories).
The higher the antenna is mounted, the better coverage. Avoid
mounting the antenna parallel with or in the neighbourhood of other
metal parts, such as masts, supporting wires etc. The antenna needs no
ground-plane, radials nor other auxiliary arrangements.
CXL 2-3 is broad-banded, having a good SWR on the RX-frequencies as
well as on the TX-frequencies. All metal parts are at ground potential
and consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial
cable.
A conical glass fibre tube completely encloses the carefully designed
radiating element to ensure long dependable service in all climates.
