AS 330 – REV2
HF TELESCOPIC WHIP ANTENNA FOR SUBMARINES
Submarine antenna made from high grade warbon fibre prepeg for higher stiffness and resistance.
A custom feeder ensures a sealed penetration in the watertight box of the tuning unit (out of supply) located under the whip.
The 7.30 m height, compared to usual 4 m or 6 m HF rods, features higher efficiency, notably in the lower part of the HF range.
