912 Single Wire Broadband Dipoles
- Barrett P/N BC91201
Barrett 912 single wire broadband dipoles are ideal for base stations that require operation
on multiple frequencies through out the HF spectrum using a single antenna.
The 912 antenna can be mounted either in a horizontal or inverted 'V' configuration as
illustrated in the following diagrams. In the horizontal configuration the major radiation
direction is broadside to the antenna. When mounted in the inverted 'V' configuration the
antenna becomes fairly omnidirectional. In the horizontal configuration the minimum
distance between the masts is 49 metres and the recommended mast height is 15 metres.
In the inverted 'V' configuration the recommended mast height is 15 metres and at this
height the 2 metre stub masts are each installed at a minimum of 19 metres from the mast
base. In locations with limited space the antenna can be mounted with the ends past the
load resistors drooped down towards the ground. White nylon supports located just past the
load resistors are provided to attach halyards for this configuration. In this configuration the
minimum distance between masts is reduced to 33 metres. Support towers may be either
lattice masts as illustrated, tubular telomasts or other support structures that may be
available locally. It is recommended that the halyards used to support the antenna be either
UV stabilised dacron chord or wire rope and that pulleys should be of stainless steel
construction.
