THE ‘

LOGI’

 

LOG PERIODIC 
ANTENNA 

Ramsey Electronics Model No.          LPY915 

Constructed on rugged FR-4 material, it requires no tuning and 
has no fragile antenna elements to break or twist! Covers the 
entire 900 to over 2,500 MHz frequency range.  
Why settle for any old antenna… this little baby “compresses” 
the signal into a powerful beam that is 4 times more powerful in 
the direction you desire! 

Easy hookup to your Receiver or Transmitter 

Small thin size with excellent broadband performance 

Solid 6 dB gain from 900 to over 2,000 MHz! 

VSWR less than 2:1 - great for transmitters up to 10 Watts! 

Easily mounted by itself or makes a great feed for reflector 
dishes 

Construction ideas for a wideband corner reflector and a 
‘grid’ reflector dish are covered in the manual! 

Very directional - ideal for point-to-point links
