144/RK2M
Eggbeater Satellite Antenna
FEATURES:
The
EB
-
144 EGGBEATER
offers exciting new performance characteristics for both fixed and mobile operations.
The
EGGBEATER
produces smooth omnidirectional HORIZONTAL polarity at the horizon. Above the horizon, the pattern
transforms to RIGHT HAND CIRCULAR, making it a natural for OSCAR satellite use. By spacing the
EGGBEATER
1/8
wave above a metal surface or adding the RK
-
2M Reflector kit, now standard, for base installations, the
circular
lobe in-
creases by 6 dB, producing a hemispherical pattern. No rotation or steering is required. For terrestrial mobile, base, net
control, contest or field day operation, increasing the distance above ground or over a metallic surface improves the hori-
zontal radiation by 6 dB. This produces instantaneous communications in all directions. Hams with little room or budget
for larger antennas will experience a new standard of performance with the
EB
-
144/RK2M.
