D2260 Sectional Dipole Antenna
The D2260 Sectional Dipole Antenna (118–136 MHz) is a rugged VHF, multi-port ATC antenna for reliable ground-to-air communications.
Description
The D2260 Sectional Dipole Antenna is a rugged, VHF dipole antenna designed for ground-to-air and ground-to-ground communications in military, defense, and air traffic control operations. Operating in the 118–136 MHz frequency range, it features three independent VHF dipoles integrated within a single enclosure, enabling simultaneous multi-frequency operation with high channel isolation. Its modular two-piece sectional design enhances portability and simplifies field deployment, making it well-suited for both permanent and temporary installations. Built to meet military standards, the D2260’s durable radome and weather-resistant construction ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.
