Racal Antennas Limited has many years of experience in design, development and manufacture of manpack/portable antennas for the military user. They have been developed after consultation with military users and radio manufacturers worldwide.
The 3510 ultra wideband manpack antenna is suitable for software definable (SDR) radios for use in a network centric environment over the 500-2500MHz frequency band. The antenna is of dipole design which means that it will operate efficiently without the need for a groundplane. A flexible gooseneck is fitted as standard to enable the antenna to be angled to the ideal position when used in a manpack role. The antennas are fully ruggedised for military use, manufactured from stainless steel and GRP.
