1、803C XXXXX803CXXXXX HF communications in the 0300 kilometer range can be diffi cult. Ground waves have very limited coverage over land, and skywaves radiated by traditional HF antennas tend to skip over the shorter ranges. The Model 530 is designed specifi cally to support skywave communications at

2、short (0500 km) ranges. The 530 directs energy overhead to provide optimal support for short- range circuits. In addition, at the higher frequencies used for longer ranges, the 530 radiates signifi cant energy at lower angles for medium- and long- range circuits. The 530 is extremely useful for grou

3、nd-air and ship-shore applications. Its radiation pattern is also suitable for secondary coverage of medium- range circuits, significantly outperforming traditional conical monopole and inverted cone antennas. A comparison of the gain of the 530 with the gain of typical vertically polarized omnidire

4、ctional antennas (see reverse) clearly shows the superiority of the 530 for medium- range communications. Support skywave communications at distances up 500 km and beyond. The 530 is horizontally polarized, thus avoiding the ground losses associated with vertically polarized antennas. The efficiency

5、 of the 530 exceeds 95% throughout the band; no lossy terminations are used. Using only a single tower for support minimizes the 530s installation costs and real estate requirements. The tower is made entirely of 6061-T6 structural aluminum alloythe ideal material for antenna towers where long life

6、and corrosion resistance are important considerations. Curtains and catenaries are fabricated in TCIs factory entirely of Alumoweld stranded wire cables. All guy insulators are low- loss, glazed ceramic fail-safe types. No organic or synthetic materials such as fi berglass or Kevlar are used anywher

In periods of low sunspot activity, when high effective radiated power is required to produce 530 Short and Medium-Range Log-Periodic Antenna suffi cient signal at the receiver, the Model 530 provides superior electrical pe

8、rformance. For short-range communications with secondary coverage of medium- and long-range targets, the 530 outperforms all other HF antennas.
