1 Established 1981 Advanced Test Equipment Rentals 844ATEC (2832) EXTREMELY BROADBAND OMNIS 2A A) VERTICALLY POLARIZED, RECEIVE ONLY Our SAS series antennas are ideally suited for spectrum surveillance and spectrum management applications. These are extremely broadband, portable receive antennas designed specifically for accurate measurement of the vertical electric field intensity. Integral active networks provide outstanding performance over the entire frequency range of operation. This is performance normally associated with fullscale antennas many times larger. All SAS series antennas except for SAS2 alpha antennas are supplied with protective radomes for outdoor use. SAS11/E SAS2 and SAS2/SE antennas are designed for use in environmentally controlled chambers or test laboratories. The SAS2 series antennas have an integrated, rechargeable power supply for stand alone operation. A gradual rolloff in the response below 1 khz in SAS antennas prevents overload due to strong 6 Hz harmonics, in areas where manmade noise is a problem. Some SAS antennas can be modified for significantly larger overload protection when used in a high field environment (see available options for SAS22). SAS22 ON A VEHICLE SAS23 series antennas covering 2 MHz to 3 GHz are available with high and low band preamplifiers which maybe bypassed remotely by integrated low loss coax switches. See separate datasheet for more details related to various options available for the SAS23 antenna. Remote and rackmountable power supplies are also available for use with SAS antennas. These antennas can be modified for use with auto batteries for vehicle mounted applications. SAS22/CR in a mobile Spectrum Management System Telephone Fax (MD) 1877ARASALE (MA) sales@arainc.com 1

25 2B BROADBAND OMNI ANTENNAS D) CONICAL MONOPOLES We offer three different types of CMA Series broadband omni antennas: 1) CMA71, CMA7, CMA41/M and CMA118 are passive antennas for both transmit and receive applications. CMA41/M, CMA71 and CMA7 are ideally suited for applications where omni coverage at or above the horizon is required and the antenna is mounted on a large ground plane. CMA118 may be mounted on a ground plane, a tripod or a mast for good omni coverage at or above the horizon. A tripod mounting adaptor is available for use with CMA118. 2) CMA3A/A is an active antenna for receiveonly applications when coverage at or above the horizon is important. The antenna should be mounted on a large ground plane for best performance. CMA118/A The lownoise amplifier is powered through the RF cable by a remote supply that employs a decoupling circuit. 3) CMA1/A and CMA24 antennas fold into small volume packages, ideally suited for extremely fast deployment in the field and tactical applications. These antennas are extremely broadband omnis which provide excellent coverage at and around the horizon when mounted on a mast. The power and RF cables can be secured to the supplied cable hook for stress relief on the connectors. CMA24 offers an instantaneous bandwidth of operation from.mhz to 24MHz. It is a ruggedized antenna designed for use in harsh environments. A CMA24 antenna can be operated in a passive or active mode. It is, by default, in passive mode while there is no DC power supplied to the antenna. Thus, by simply disabling the active circuit, the CMA24 can operate in a fail safe mode in a high field environment. A new unique design for CMA24 antenna elements has reduced the setup time to less than 3 minutes. CMA3A/A CMA1/A is an active antenna for receive only applications. The CMA1/A antenna is assembled by inserting the 32 elements into the antenna head and tightening them by hand. CMA41/M 1 Telephone Fax (MD) sales@arainc.com 1877ARASALE (MA)

28 BROADBAND OMNI ANTENNAS 2B E) ACTIVE WHIPS Our active whip antennas offer flat antenna factors, extreme sensitivities, ultra wide dynamic range and rugged construction. The excellent characteristics of active receiving antennas are a result of carefully matching the passive antenna structure to the active circuitry. No band switching is required over the entire multioctave band of operation. AVW2/E The frequencyindependent nature and weatherproof design of these antennas make them useful for almost any receiving application requiring a small antenna. AVW2 antennas are designed to meet severe environmental conditions. These antennas are ideally suited for shipborne applications since little degradation in overall performance is noticed during continuous exposure to salt spray. Directional beam arrays of these units can be realized easily since mutual coupling effects of phasing are insignificant. AVW2 antennas may be mounted on virtually any flat surface where a sixfoot square area is available.

29 2C BROADBAND AND HIGH GAIN OMNIS WDA series antennas are optimized for both broadband and high gain performance. These antennas are ideally suited for use with frequency hopping radios and wideband jammers where tuning or band switching is difficult and high gain omnidirectional performance is essential. The sealed radome offers mechanical stability and environmental protection. The antenna elements in a WDA antenna are arrayed and centerfed using a unique method (patent pending) of feeder cable arrangement which creates superb wideband performance with few compromises. OVP, OHP and RSA series high gain Omni antennas are used in a wide variety of applications including communication base stations (groundtoair, pointtopoint or mobile communication), Electronic News Gathering (ENG), MMDS and radar systems. Several models are enclosed in special radomes optimized for airborne applications. WDA497 & WDA122 Only linearly polarized omnis are included in this datasheet. High gain circularly polarized omnis for mobile satellite communications and other applications are described in a separate datasheet on Helical Antennas. OVP series antennas include one or more vertically polarized dipoles mounted on a common axis and integrated into a dielectric radome. Multiport OVP antennas have at least 3 isolation between ports. An internal matching network keeps all antenna parts at DC ground potential. STA series super turnstile antennas are designed to provide omnidirectional coverage for communication and spectrum surveillance in the VHF and UHF bands. The super turnstile design allows complete frequency coverage of the VHF/UHF commercial broadcast bands using a single antenna. SWA 47 STA series antennas offer low to medium gain, low VSWR, and wide frequency bands for transmit applications. By combining single turnstile elements, higher gain can be achieved. An omnidirectional gain of up to 1 i can be achieved with a multiple bay antenna. The design is such that from one to eight bays can be constructed on a single modular mast. One or more super turnstile elements, each covering a different frequency band, can be used in tandem on a single mast to effectively span much wider frequency ranges.
