    A.H. Systems Model Active Monopole Antennas SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL DESCRIPTION The A.H. Systems active monopole antennas are active, general-purpose, receive-only antennas which cover the 100 Hz – 60 MHz frequency range. They are ideal for instantaneous bandwidth scanning (without tuning) of electric fields in its frequency range and can drive any receiver with an input impedance of 50 .
