This Digital HF Military Vertical Dipole Antenna provides 0-2500km of Digital mode coverage from 7MHz to 30MHz, which is 36 inches x 4 inches x 1.5 inches in size and weighs 22 ounces.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Deployable with digital quantum and/or spread-spectrum equipment.
- For equipment that uses singular or simultaneous frequencies.
- Missions that require digital HF communications using Ground-wave and/or Skywave signal patterns.
- Digital mode ‘skywave coverage’ area in a radius of 1500-miles for a diameter of 3000-miles on 7MHz to 30MHz.
- All mode ‘ground-wave coverage’ in a radius of 60-miles (dependent upon height) for 1.8-7MHz, 7MHz-30MHz, 144-148MHz, and 220-240MHz.
- Useful when an isolated solution is required that requires no counterpoise.
Power Rating: 5W minimum digital input signal required with a maximum input power rating of 30W for Digital Modes. Including but not limited to the MIL-STD-188 M110a digital communications mode that is rated at 25 watts continuous with bursts of 100 watts digital for up to 1 minute using the MIL-STD Data Modem Terminal (MS-DMT) and Automated Message Terminal (AMT) software applications.

USAGE SCENARIOS
Read About Using HF Frequencies to Monitor Remote Pipelines
Where secrecy is paramount, digital communications through unseen methods plays a crucial role. Some of the usage scenarios of clandestine antennas include:
- Clandestine Communications in Cyber-Denied Environments:
- Context: In an era where internet-based communications are vulnerable to surveillance and attacks, intelligence operatives seek alternative methods.
- Scenario: Imagine a situation where an operative needs to communicate without exposing themselves to internet-based surveillance.
- Solution:
- Physical Separation: Platforms physically separated from the internet can be used. These platforms are not susceptible to internet-based surveillance or attacks.
- Radio Technology: Combine modern computer-based software with radio technology.
- Importance: Counterintelligence and law enforcement must adapt to these evolving communication methods.
- Countermeasures: Detect radio-based clandestine communications and secure evidence.
- Operational Scenarios where concealment and minimizing visibility are critical:
- Example: Monitoring a nearby building while parked outside.
- Setup: Transmitter, receiver, and antennas positioned out of sight from windows.
- Between Floors in an Office Building:
- Example: Operating from the third floor to the first floor.
- Setup: Transmitter, receiver, and antennas positioned out of sight carried out of site under clothing.
- Out in the Open:
- Example: Providing regional communications support while deployed in the field.
- Setup: Transmitter, receiver, and antennas positioned out of sight inside a backpack.
- Example: Providing regional communications support while deployed in the field.
- Example: Operating from the third floor to the first floor.
- Example: Monitoring a nearby building while parked outside.
- Monitoring remote pipelines:
CONCLUSION
Remember, clandestine antennas for digital communications are designed to operate covertly, avoiding detection by adversaries. Their success lies in striking a balance between effective communication and maintaining secrecy with a right sized antenna.
All these solutions are enabled by this Military Vertical Dipole Antenna known as the DuoPole.
