Wideband Communications Antennas

This new line of optimized wide bandwidth (”Double Egg-Beater”) antennas provide a superior solution for communications or measurement and testing systems requiring large instantaneous bandwidths with very flat impedance requirements. By using computer optimization techniques, Star-H engineers were able to design a unique wideband dipole antenna with low VSWR, high efficiency, and lightweight rugged construction.

The antenna is available in several standard configurations or can be customized to a particular requirement. No lossy matching networks or lumped-element circuit components are used in the antenna, making it useful for waveforms requiring wide instantaneous bandwidth.
