    A.H. Systems Model Active Monopole Antennas SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The A.H. Systems Active Monopole Antennas are an active, general-purpose, receive-only antenna that covers 100 Hz – 60 MHz frequency range. It is ideal for instantaneous bandwidth scanning (without tuning) of electric fields in its frequency range and can drive any receiver with 50Ω...

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    A.H. Systems Model Active Monopole Antennas MAINTENANCE To ensure reliable and repeatable long-term performance, annual re-calibration of your pre-amplifier by A.H. Systems experienced technicians is recommended. Our staff can recalibrate almost any type or brand of antenna. For more information about our calibration services or to place an order for antenna calibration visit our website at http://www.AHSystems.com or call 1(818) 998-0223.
