CXL 3-2C

Omni AntennasCXL 3-2C

Sturdy, Unity-Gain, Omnidirectional Base Station Antenna for the International Aircraft Band

Description

  • CXL 3-2C is a sturdy, 0 dBd, vertically polarized, omnidirectional base station antenna for the 110 - 156 MHz used for the civil aircraft band, Maritime and land mobile services.
  • CXL 3-2C is extremely broad-banded – and it is most suitable for use on control towers etc., where reliability is of the utmost importance.
  • The antenna is provided with our “C” mast bracket, which is a universal, epoxy-coated mounting bracket made of non-corrosive aluminium.
  • The accompanying U-bolts and fittings are made of stainless steel.
  • The antenna can be mounted on 27 to 65 mm dia. mast tubes, and it is possible to lead the cable either along the inside or on the outside of the mast tube.
  • To substantially reduce noise caused by atmospherical discharges, all metal parts in the antenna are DC-grounded. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the coaxial cable.
  • The broad-banded antenna element is completely enclosed in a glass fibre shroud, which will ensure performance undisturbed by corrosive environments.
  • CXL 3-2C is constructed to ensure long dependable service in all climates.
