Antenna Experts manufacturers HFTD series HF Tactical Dipole Antennas which offers optimum performance, low SWR operation at the resonance frequency and suitable for high power HF Transceiver. The HF tactical dipole antenna has exceptional strength and durability by utilizing marine grade stainless steel stranded rope/wire radiating elements materials. The HF tactical dipole antenna propagates NVIS, local, medium or long distance communications system since its deployment can be controlled by operator himself to suit all operational requirements.

The HF tactical dipole antenna can be configured for multirole such as a Horizontal Dipole configuration is suitable for short or medium range omni-directional coverage and long distance communication at Broadside of antenna; Sloping Dipole configuration is suitable for short or medium range omni-directional coverage; a Bent Dipole or Inverted L configuration is suitable for low frequency ground wave communication; a Base Feed Vertical configuration is suitable for omni-directional ground wave and long distance sky wave communication; a Sloping V configuration is suitable for directional medium range communication; a Inverted V configuration is suitable for directional long range communication. Any one of configuration can be rapidly deployed from carry bag by an operator within 10 minutes.

The HF tactical dipole antenna elements are calibrated with heat shrink printed markers in 0.5MHz interval between 3 to 10 MHz and 1MHz interval between 10 to 30MHz band. The antenna is supplied with halyard/throwing rope, stainless steel "S" hooks, Balun/junction box fitted with chromium plated brass terminal, winding spools, throwing weight, carry bag and 10 meters long low loss feeder cable fitted with connectors.

The radiating element of HF tactical dipole antenna is made of ultra corrosion resistant marine grade stainless steel to ensure the survivability in worst environment conditions. The HF tactical dipole antenna can be mounted in various configurations as stated in above paragraph depending on the required communication range; however a standard dipole configuration (Horizontal Polarized) is recommended. HF tactical dipole antenna does not use any terminating resistor so full power is available for radiation to increase the overall efficiency of the antenna.

Although the HF tactical dipole antenna is designed for tactical defense applications but can be used by emergency services, HAM operators and other organizations that requires fast and reliable communications. Our HF tactical antenna doesn't need any ground plane for its operation. The HFTD series HF tactical dipole antenna features high power handing capabilities, high efficiency, low VSWR and robust mechanical design to accommodate the most extreme environments condition. Our HF tactical antenna doesn't need any antenna tuning unit (ATU) for its operation.

The HFV-153 HF tactical vehicle mount antenna is made of ultra corrosion resistant marine grade stainless steel whip, designed to be used with an Automatic Antenna Tuner (not supplied with the antenna). The overall length of HF vehicular mount antenna HFV-153 is 2.6 Meters consisting of 2 sections. N Female connector as a termination is fixed at the lower section of radiator which is insulated from the mounting fixture/flange.

The base section of HF tactical vehicular mount whip antenna is equipped with heavy duty stainless steel bi-conical spring coil to absorb shocks fitted with standard NATO four holes pattern. The HF tactical vehicle mount whip antenna base is supplied with black powder coating and stainless steel whip is supplied with NATO green powder coating. This HF Tactical Whip Mobile Antenna supplied in dismantle condition for easy of shipping and handling and can be assembled in the field with simple hand tools.

The HF tactical mobile antenna elements are tapered and threads are provided at each element making the antenna assembly a simple job. The HF vehicular mount antenna is supplied with eyes protecting cap fitted at the tip of the whip.
