The 1607 Band 1 Radio Relay Antenna is suitable for tactical deployment operating over 225 to 400 MHz frequency band (Band 1). In addition to its outstanding electrical performance, its main features are its lightweight rugged design, ease of use and low wind drag.
The design is based on a corner reflector with a fully welded lightweight aluminium reflector and a dipole feed assembly. The antenna is linearly polarised, with two mounting spigots at the rear provided for either horizontal or vertical polarisation.
For ease of transportation each reflector can be folded into a flat position, which also protects the feed (see picture below). For ease of transportation and stowage a bi-fold reflector version is also available to further reduce the size of the collapsed antenna.
