Digital Audio Broadcast High Power Dipole Model DAB-VD

DAB-VD is a high power dipole for digital audio broadcast. Constructed from stainless steel with a 7/8" EIA connector and developed so it can be used in a pressurised system, the transmit power rating is up to 5 kilowatts per bay.

The adjustable tuning stubs allow the antenna to be set for any 50 MHz bandwidth you specify within the 174 to 230 MHz frequency range.

When ordering, specify your transmit frequency and the dipole will be factory tuned for single channel return loss of -30 dB with an overall return loss of -20 dB, less than 1.2:1 VSWR.

The DAB-VD horizontal radiation pattern is semi-omnidirectional, -4 dB at the rear.

Higher gain and power is achieved in stack array formations using a suitable power divider and branch feeder cables. Stack array package pricing is available upon request.

The heavy duty stainless steel clamp assembly supplied is suitable for mounting the dipole to any round mast between 50 mm and 75 mm in diameter.

A medium power version with 7/16" Female DIN connector is also available.
