Page 5: Section 1 - Concept Of Operation
SECTION 1 – Concept of Operation The tuner free & directional Alpha Multiband Antenna is a multipurpose antenna system, which can be configured to launch your signal at your target. Many short-range HF communication circuits use vertical whip antennas that are not directional. - Page 6 above ground. Such radiation characteristics are omnidirectional in azimuth and provide an l-hop range of about 300 miles. The antenna gain varies mainly with the height of the antenna above ground. Because it is highly desirable to have minimum height and weight for tactical antennas, the immediate problem becomes one of determining the minimum effective antenna height required.
