RFS RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEMS HLO SERIES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION


ROTATABLE LOG PERIODIC ANTENNA - HLO SERIES

photo RFS Radio Frequency Systems HLO Series The HLO430 is a high performance rotatable log periodic designed to provide reliable link establishment over short, medium and long distances with mobile stations.

Characterised by its high gain performance whilst maintaining excellent front to back ratio, the HLO is capable of providing coverage in excess of 5000 kms.

The broadband feature enables transmission over 4-30 MHz and reception within the full 2-30 MHz band. A high performance rotary joint enables continuous rotation with a complete 360° turn achieved in two minutes.

A unique design feature of the HLO is the ability to raise and lower the antenna without the use of cranes or special erection towers.
