Military Communications (MILCOM) Antennas
The military uses both single-band high-performance and versatile multi-band antennas for military communications (MILCOM). Some common types of military antennas and their applications include:
- Radar antennas, which are essential in monitoring air traffic.
- Wideband antennas, which are used to acquire information across a large spectrum of frequencies.
- Broadband military antennas, covering frequency bands as great as 30MHz-10GHz.
- Antennas for handheld radios, manpack, vehicles, and special applications that are used for surveillance, telemetry, remote deployments.
- Discone, dipole, and log periodic antennas as well as monopoles, stacked dipoles, Yagi antennas, etc.
Summarily
The military uses both single-band high-performance and versatile multi-band antennas.
Strategically
It is important to use antennas that a US Company designs, fabricates, and distributes. That is why Alpha Antenna is owned by an American whose operations are all carried out on American soil.
Selection
A mission driven military antenna has many decision variables. Some of the vectors used for making that decision include Frequency, Power Ratings, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), plus Patterns & Polarization.
Examples
Some examples of these base, portable, or mobile installations can be seen HERE and below.
