Muldipol Military Antennas
The MULDIPOL™ Multiple Dipole Collinear Array concept has been specifically
developed by TACO for ground-air-ground, air traffic control and base communications
applications.
This omni directional concept employs a unique method of shielding the feed cables
to improve radiation pattern characteristics. The MULDIPOL™ also has a high degree
of isolation between discrete elements within a closely spaced array.
The result is a small, rugged, easy to install antenna. The lightweight and compact
design minimizes space and lends itself to tactical transportable use in the most hostile
environments.
A minimum of 30 dB isolation is realized between any two antenna elements in every
MULDIPOL™ model. The low profile silhouette of this antenna plus the resulting
decrease in the number of antennas required at any tower site also gives a much
improved radiation pattern coverage.

OPERATION
The process employed in the TACO antennas incorporates the patented
MULDIPOL™ concept. The utilization of this technique results in a unit which
has excellent “broadband” halfwave dipole characteristics over the entire
operating frequencies.
The desired “figure eight” radiation pattern is generally constant throughout
the band. Through “broadband” suppression of extraneous currents upon the
transmission line, the undesirable “Clover Leaf” pattern is avoided.
By design, the outer conductors of both halves of each dipole are at the same
DC ground potential. A ground is provided at the base of each antenna for
supplemental grounding capability.
