Omni AntennasCXL 2-5SL/...

Sturdy, 5 dBd Gain, Base Station Antenna for the 160 MHz Band

Description

  • CXL 2-5SL/… is a 5 dBd, vertically polarized, omnidirectional base station antenna.
  • The antenna has a bandwidth of 8 MHz.
  • In designing this antenna, special emphasis has been laid on obtaining a large bandwidth both in relation to VSWR and gain. The phasing of the radiating elements is carefully adjusted to yield maximum gain in the horizontal plane, with the level of the side lobes reduced to a minimum.
  • The antenna element is sealed in a high-quality, cylindrical glass fibre tube with low wind-load, which will ensure performance undisturbed in all climates.
  • 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.
  • CXL 2-5SL/… is a vibration-proof, lightweight, slim-line, corrosion-resistant, modern style base station antenna.
  • The antenna is provided with our type "SL" (Slim Line) mast mount, which is a multipurpose mounting tube made of non-corrosive aluminium.
  • The antenna can be mounted on mast tubes of 33 to 70 mm in outer diameter.
  • The accompanying clamp set and fittings are made of hot galvanized steel.

Please Note

When using the CXL 2-5SL/… at windy locations where wind speeds of more than 150 km/h can be expected, the antenna must be mounted on the side of the mast and the top section of the glass fibre tube stabilized with a bracket.
