2018 Mobile magnetic loop HF antenna
Short range HF coverage
As the 2018 predominantly radiates RF energy towards the ionosphere as a vehicle mounted NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Sky wave) antenna, it is effective in overcoming the skip zone common in whip based antenna systems providing superior operation in the range of 30 to 150 kms. For the same reason the 2018 antenna is highly effective for communication in mountainous areas.
- Significant increase in Rx efficiency and Tx radiation compared to a whip antenna for NVIS operations
- NVIS operation providing virtually continuous HF coverage from 0 to 1000 km+
- Noise reduction-increased immunity to ignition and power line noise
