“Wolf” Broadband NVIS Antenna

The Wolf Terminated Folded Dipole Antenna is designed as a regional coverage antenna, intended for near and mid-range HF communications in environmental disasters and military tactical scenarios. The antenna can be configured as a Flat Top NVIS Antenna, Inverted “V” for medium to long ranges, or a Sloping Directional Antenna.

The complete Wolf system with optional Push Up Mast can be erected in less than 10 minutes!

Its strong NVIS (Near Vertical Incidence Skywave) capabilities allow for communications over mountainous and jungle environments. Its full 2-30 MHz spectrum broadband coverage makes it an excellent antenna for ALE operations. Reduce system costs without the need for a tuner/coupler. No radial ground plane or grounding is required, making the antenna ideal for rooftop or on the fly installations.

The “Wolf” Antenna can be purchased in tactical or permanent models.

      Mobile NVIS Loop Antenna

      Traditional vertical whip’ antennas fitted to vehicles for high-frequency communication suffer from a ‘skip zone’, where little or no communication is obtainable in a given area.

      Fixed NVIS Loop Antenna

      Like the mobile loop, the fixed station loop is capable of automatically tuning across its frequency range in less than a 50th of a second, it is compatible with virtually any HF transceiver including frequency hopping types without the need for a separate control.

      Delta Loop Antenna (TDLS)

      The Delta Loop Antenna (TDLS) is a versatile multi-mode transportable antenna system. Using multi-functional components, the TDLS consists of two tactical dipole antennas, covering 2-12 and 12-30MHz.

      Broadband – Terminated Folded Dipole
