DX Engineering DVA - Dual Vertical Array System Features
The Dual Vertical Array System is a monoband two element, three direction-switchable array
based on a two element end-fire/broadside combination of identical vertical elements. This antenna
array system is capable of delivering pattern directional performance superior to other systems in its
class.

Custom design with stable and clean low-angle patterns

No dump power as on other types of phased arrays so all your power goes to the antenna
elements

Power Handling: 2 kW continuous

Directional performance - Two End Fire and one Broadside directions

Forward Gain (approximate as compared to a single vertical): 3 dB End-Fire, 1 dB
Broadside (Omni)

Can be built with monoband verticals to cover any single band

RF Connectors: Three SO-239 (UHF Female): Transmitter, Antenna 1, Antenna 2

Excellent signal-to-noise ratio

Directivity over a very wide frequency range in the band selected

Excellent relay contact reliability

DC powered control console allows system operation without AC power mains

Control Cable: 3 conductors, minimum 20 AWG

Control Wire Connections: Set screw connectors internal at the Control Console and a
removable external connector at the DVA Phasing Relay Unit

Cover on the DVA Phasing Relay Unit made from tough UV protected plastic

Stainless steel chassis and mounting plate on the Phasing Relay Unit

DVA Control Console uses +13.8 Vdc input has three LEDs and three position rotary
direction switch (Position 1, Broadside, Position 2)

Designed, manufactured and tested by DX Engineering
