The SMD2 Series side mounted dipoles are broad band antennas which, through different phasing and mounting arrangements can offer a variety of patterns (generally cardioid) tailored to specific coverage requirements. These antennas can be mounted in dual arrays for 3dB gain, or four-stack arrays for 6dB gain over a single dipole.
The SMD2 is constructed of heavy gauge corrosion resistant anodised aluminium tubing with a high pressure cast aluminium hub assembly and stainless steel fittings. This combination provides an exceptionally strong antenna, suited for extreme weather conditions.
The SMD22 is a ruggedised antenna featuring extremely heavy walled tubing, all welded aluminium construction and a black epoxy coating to aid in solar heat retention. The SMD24 is a stainless steel version and is ideal in corrosive marine environments. All of the antennas are electrically identical.
SMD antenna construction allows for the entire antenna to rest at ground potential, making it highly recommended in lightning prone applications.
