Radiation Patterns - 54m BBA E Series
HF BROADBAND MULTIWIRE ANTENNA
Horizontal Configuration
Product Overview
Inverted V Configuration
Polarisation: While not usually critical in HF applications, these antennas tend to exhibit horizontal
polarization to the sides of the antenna (along the X axis), and vertical polarisation along the axis of the
antenna (Y axis).
Height: In general, for optimum gain in the horizontal configuration, the antenna should be mounted at
least 1/4 wavelength above ground for the lowest frequency of interest. Lower mounting heights give lower
gain and/or a more vertical radiation pattern.
NVIS: The inverted V configuration is recommended for NVIS operation.
