Typical VSWR curve
HX 2/…-FME
Helical Antenna with Universal FME-Connection System for Portable Equipment in the 2 m Band
Description
- Flexible, conical steel helix moulded in flexible thermoplastic rubber.
- Reduced-size ¼ λ helical antenna whip.
- Optimum performance compared to physical dimensions.
- -3 dB gain (typ.) compared to a ¼ λ antenna whip on the same equipment.
- Delivered factory-tuned and -tested to ensure minimum VSWR.
- Provided with universal FME-connection system for optimum flexibility and easily exchangeable connectors.
- The HX 2 is also available with SMA(m) connector.
- Designed for use with the following of the Procom’s line of black FME-connectors (to be ordered separately): BFME-UHF, BFME-BNC, BFME-TNC, BFME-N, BFME-EBNC and BFME-ETNC.
