| AWD-30-88 | VHF Military Discone Antenna | 30 - 88 MHz. | 2.15 dBi |  |  |  |
The AWD-30-88 engineering strategy focuses on its rare capability to cover the entire 30-88 MHz VHF Lo-Band in a single, compact discone footprint. This makes it a high-value target for military communications, tactical FM, and broad-spectrum electronic warfare.
Logistics: Compact Transport & Rapid Deployment
The AWD-30-88 is engineered for logistical efficiency in demanding field operations. Despite its wide-frequency capability, the antenna features a Removable Element Design, allowing the cone and disc rods to be detached from the main body for highly compact packing and reduced shipping costs. Once on-site, the antenna’s intuitive assembly allows for rapid deployment without the need for field tuning or complex adjustments. This "knock-down" configuration ensures that high-performance VHF communications can be transported and established quickly, even in remote or tactical environments.
Durability: Tactical Grade Construction & Protection
Built to withstand the rigors of severe environmental exposure, the AWD-30-88 is constructed from 6063T6 ultra-corrosion-resistant architectural anodized aluminum alloy. To provide an extra layer of defense against UV radiation, salt spray, and chemical abrasion, the entire unit is finished with a high-durability epoxy-based olive green powder coating. The antenna’s integrity is further enhanced by an internal cable routing system, where the N-Female connector and feed cable are fully enclosed within the mounting pipe, shielding critical RF junctions from moisture and corrosion.
Efficiency: Single-Antenna Broadband Solution
The AWD-30-88 offers an exceptional Single-Antenna Solution for the entire 30-88 MHz VHF band, eliminating the need for multiple tuned antennas. Its ultra-wideband design maintains a low VSWR and high radiation efficiency across the spectrum, making it equally effective for high-power transmitting and sensitive receiving. Whether utilized for military FM communications, tactical jamming, or wide-spectrum monitoring, this discone provides consistent omni-directional coverage with the reliability required for mission-critical base station applications.

Design Features: AWD-30-88 wide band discone antenna uses 6063T6 ultra corrosion resistant architectural aluminum alloy and is specially designed for omni-directional coverage. Due to its low VSWR through entire band from 30-88 MHz., this discone antenna can be used as a transmitting and receiving antenna with high efficiency, to meet the broadband requirement of a base station antenna such as spectrum monitoring or jamming application. The wide band discone antenna when packed comes with cone and disc elements removed from the antenna body for ease of packing and shipment.
