The RF-9070 is a militarized, vertically- polarized,
omnidirectional transportable antenna designed for ground-
to-air communication between 100 and 400 MHz. It is
particularly useful for frequency-hopping systems due to its
instantaneous broadband response and low VSWR.
The RF-9070 also operates in the frequency bands used by a
large number of commercial services, such as air traffic
control, fire, police, utilities, and emergency services.
The RF-9070 is supplied as a kit that includes the center hub
assembly, 24 elements with threaded ends, 24 lock nuts, and
a 10 foot coaxial cable. For corrosion resistance and durability
the center hub and elements are made from lightweight
aluminum alloy with E512 finish per MIL-F-14072. The center
hub is constructed with two machined aluminum hubs that
surround a center insulator machined from Delron 570.
Within the hub assembly is a passive LC network that
provides exceptional VSWR performance across the band.
Electrical connection is provided by a type N female connector
on the center hub. The coaxial cable allows connection to a
radio up to 10 feet away.
The RF-9070 antenna’s center hub provides a threaded
1.3-inch (3.3-cm) diameter hole for a mast. The optional
RF-9071 is a mast pipe specifically designed to mount the
RF-9070 antenna.
