D2221-S Sectional Dipole Antenna
The D2221-S Sectional Dipole Antenna is a high-isolation UHF dipole antenna designed for multi-channel military communications. Operating within the 225–400 MHz frequency band, its four independent connectors allow for simultaneous operation in a single, rugged two-piece radome configuration.
Description
The D2221-S Sectional Dipole Antenna is engineered for high-performance UHF communication in military and defense environments. Covering the 225–400 MHz frequency range, this antenna features four independent radiating elements, each with a dedicated connector, allowing simultaneous operation on multiple UHF channels. Its robust fiberglass construction and two-piece sectional design make it ideal for rapid deployment, transport, and integration on tactical platforms. With high port-to-port isolation and reliable vertical polarization, the D2221-S ensures resilient and uninterrupted communications in demanding operational scenarios.
