Introduction
Contents Overview
The Barrett Rapid Deployment Broadband Dipole Antenna
is a dipole antenna with loading to allow broadband
operation. It will operate continuously across the band from 2-30 MHz. The power
rating is 150 W PEP. Throwing cords are provided that can be used to elevate the
antenna or to secure to the ground. The antenna can be used in a number of
congurations (see over), depending on the structures available for elevation.
Compatible Barrett masts include, 10m Rapid Deployment Mast (P/N 2090-02-21),
10m Rapid Deployment Composite Mast (P/N
2090-02-24) and 5m Rapid Deployment Mast
(P/N 2090-02-04). This antenna is most suitable
for HF radio manpack and temporary base station
deployment. This guide will indicate the
recommended deployment type for each
conguration with these symbols.

Horizontal Configuration
Inverted V Configuration
Horizontal conguration has maximum
gain on the broadsides of the antenna
and reduced gain along the axis. Therefore, the broadsides should point in the
direction of the receiving stations, if possible. Antenna height above ground
affects radiation angle. Lower heights give higher radiation angle which is better
for NVIS (shorter distance) operation. Greater heights give a lower radiation
angle, which is favourable for longer distance communication.
The inverted-V conguration has a more
omni-directional pattern than the
horizontal conguration, with lower maximum gain. The ends of the antenna
should be at least 0.5m above ground. Suitable mainly for NVIS and medium
distance communication.

Sloping Configuration
Inverted U Configuration
Radiation with the Sloping conguration becomes more directional, with
increased gain in the direction of the lower end of the antenna, and reduced gain
towards the higher end.
The inverted U conguration has a radiation pattern between that of horizontal
conguration and an inverted V conguration. For optimum performance, the
radiating elements should be fully unwound, and should not touch the ground.
Suitable for NVIS to medium distance. Longer distance performance will be
enhanced by erecting the antenna at a height of 10m or more.
