RDF Products V/UHF Mobile Adcock Radio Direction Finding Antennas

MOBILE ADCOCK RADIO DIRECTION FINDING ANTENNAS

RDF Products offers a wide variety of mobile Adcock radio direction finding antennas covering various bands in the 20-1600 MHz range. These weather-sealed units are rugged, compact, light-weight, and specifically designed for demanding mobile radio direction finding missions. They can be mounted on cars, vans, aircraft, or any platform with a sizeable metallic ground plane. Both single- and multi-band configurations are available. Standard models are listed below along with their corresponding frequency ranges:

DMA-1248B1 (20-174 MHz; enhanced low-VHF performance)

DMA-1254B1 (20-470 MHz; S/A DMA-1248 but with added UHF coverage)

DMA-1265B1 (20-1,000 MHz; ultra-wide coverage V/UHF DF antenna)

DMA-1270B1 (27-220 MHz; optimum sensitivity in aviation band)

DMA-1272B2 (27-300 MHz)

DMA-1276B2 (27-520 MHz)

DMA-1286B2 (30-1,000 MHz; low-profile, covert)

DMA-1290B1 (65-200 MHz; ultra-wide coverage V/UHF DF antenna)

DMA-1306B1 (65-1,000 MHz; ultra-wide coverage V/UHF DF antenna)

DMA-1309 B1 (70-280 MHz; optimum sensitivity in aviation band)

DMA-1310B2 (75-300 MHz)

DMA-1315 B2 (75-520 MHz)

DMA-1325B3 (75-1,000 MHz; low-profile, covert)

DMA-1349B1 (148-470 MHz)

DMA-1366 B1 (220-520 MHz)

DMA-1 376B1 (240-1,000 MHz; optimum sensitivity in 700-1,000 MHz cellular/pager/trunking bands)

Custom models are also available on special order for other bands in the 1.8-1,000 MHz range.

RDF Products can also supply special-purpose DF antennas for customers who wish to employ proprietary signal processing hardware and bearing computation algorithms rather than using an RDF Products DF receiver/processor. Such antennas can be supplied with standard Adcock-style outputs or with direct phase-matched aerial outputs more suitable for interferometric DF applications. We invite customers with such special requirements to contact us for further information.
