D4000 Series: ATC Muldipol Antennas
The MULDIPOL™Multiple Dipole Collinear Array concept has been
specifically developed by TACO for ground-air-ground, air traffic control
and associated vehicular and base communications applications.
The MULDIPOL™ has a high degree of isolation between elements within
a closely spaced array. The result is a small, rugged, easy to install antenna.
A minimum of 30 dB isolation is realized between any two antenna
elements in every MULDIPOL™model. The low profile 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.
ANTENNA PATTERNS:
FEATURES:
• Rugged lightweight construction
• Transportable and compact
• Combination of UHF and VHF
• High isolation between antenna elements
• Fibreglass Base (Metallic Base optional see D5000 series)
• No DC Grounded Dipoles (DC Ground
optional - see D5000 series)
