FEATURES:
The M2 500-1000-10 Helix antenna model is designed to meet environmental condition specified by MIL-STD-
810 and offers performance characteristics for specialized fixed and rapid deploy operations within the 500 to 1000 MHz
band. It is perfect for either terrestrial or satellite applications. The antenna is supplied with a manually adjustable Azi-
muth / Elevation mount and a counter weight. The antenna is shipped with the helix assembled less ground plane. The
Finish is gold anodyne plating. The steel adjustable mounting fixture and counterweight are zinc plated. Optional tactical
carrying cases are available. Optional arrays of 2 or more are available. Other frequency ranges and gains are also avail-
able down to 100 MHz. Complete motorized, computer controlled AZ-EL systems are also manufactured by M2.
Where circular polarity is not required but high bandwidth is, M2 offers a line of various log periodic antennas from 5 to
1300 MHz. If it is antenna related, we probably have made it. Call us with your requirements.
