The LP-50-2000 is a versatile, ultra-wideband Log Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) designed for comprehensive coverage across the 50–2000 MHz spectrum. This high-gain directional array is an essential asset for surveillance, monitoring, scanning, and high-power jamming applications. By utilizing a "pure" LPDA design without loading techniques, it maintains a consistent 9 dBi gain and a stable radiation pattern throughout its entire 1.95 GHz bandwidth. Despite its large 2.5-meter physical footprint, the antenna is optimized for rapid deployment with foldable elements and self-locking mechanisms.
The LP-50-2000 is engineered for operators who require a single-antenna solution for the entire VHF and UHF spectrum, reaching into the lower microwave bands.
Unified 50–2000 MHz Coverage: This antenna replaces multiple narrow-band apertures. It is perfectly suited for multi-role missions including signal monitoring, broadband scanning, and high-intensity jamming of tactical radio links and cellular triggers.
High-Intensity 500W Power Handling: Built for continuous-duty electronic attack, the LP-50-2000 manages up to 500 Watts of RF throughput, ensuring maximum signal saturation at the target.
Directional 9 dBi Gain: By focusing RF energy into a defined 70-degree horizontal beam, the antenna provides a dominant Jamming-to-Signal (J/S) ratio while offering a 16 dB Front-to-Back ratio to minimize interference with friendly equipment behind the array.
Pure LPDA Architecture: Unlike smaller antennas that use loading coils, the LP-50-2000 uses full-sized elements. This ensures maximum efficiency and a linear, predictable performance across its massive frequency range.
Despite its size, the LP-50-2000 is built for agility and long-term survivability in extreme environmental conditions.
Foldable Element Design: The antenna features foldable elements, with the longest reaching 1.5 meters. Elements are supplied in segments and utilize a self-locking device for fast installation, making it suitable for both temporary tactical setups and permanent installations.
Aerospace & Marine-Grade Materials: Constructed from 6063T6 anodized aluminum alloy with type 316 marine-grade stainless steel hardware. This ensures the antenna remains corrosion-free in coastal and saline environments.
Mechanical Reinforcement: Extra spacers are utilized between the square-tube support booms to improve structural rigidity, allowing the antenna to survive winds of up to 200 Km/Hr.
Lightning & Noise Protection: The array operates at D.C. ground, providing a safe discharge path for lightning and reducing the noise floor for sensitive monitoring and surveillance tasks.
