AD-52
Rev.A
The antenna AD-52 is a wideband wire directional antenna intended for use with handheld or manpack radio
units in VHF frequency range from 30 to 88 MHz. The radiating element is made of wire with special
capacitive loadings along it, enable together with antenna matching transformer very low VSWR and on the
other hand directional radiation pattern and therefore relatively high gain. The antenna is mainly intended for
use in stay because of its simple construction and easy erecting . Except of the wire radiating element the
antenna is composed of matching transformer unit, watertight enclosed in a fiberglass housing with all
necessary connectors, a tape radiator for counterpoise, a 15 m long coaxial feeder made of RG-58/U with
coaxial connectors, lifting rope 25 m with weight, anchor and hammer.All together is packed in a handy linen
bag, suitable for transport.
