The AWD-20-3000, design and engineering strategy emphasizes its unmatched ultra-wideband frequency agility, spanning from 20 MHz to 3000 MHz (3 GHz). This flagship "Master" discone is positioned as a comprehensive infrastructure solution for high-level spectrum monitoring, electronic warfare, and unified tactical communication across HF, VHF, UHF, and S-band frequencies.

Logistics: Compact Transport & 5-Minute Field Deployment

The AWD-20-3000 is designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty structural integrity and logistical mobility. Despite its massive frequency range, the antenna features a Removable Element Design for the cone and disc rods, allowing it to be collapsed into a highly compact shipping volume. This significantly reduces international freight costs and ensures the antenna's precision elements remain protected during transit. Once on-site, the specialized mounting hardware allows for a rapid 5-minute field assembly without the need for any special tools, making it the premier choice for rapid-response units and tactical communication hubs.

Durability: Engineered for Arctic to Desert Extremes

Designed to survive where conventional antennas fail, the AWD-20-3000 is constructed from 6063T6 ultra-corrosion-resistant architectural anodized aluminum alloy. To combat the corrosive gases, acid rain, and salt spray of coastal areas, every metallic surface is protected by a high-grade Military Olive Green powder coating. The unit's survivability is further enhanced by the use of Type 316 marine-grade stainless steel for all fasteners. Crucially, the antenna termination and feed cable are enclosed entirely within the mounting pipe, shielding the electrical connections from moisture, ice, and abrasive sandstorms.

Efficiency: The Ultimate All-in-One Spectrum Solution

The AWD-20-3000 serves as a high-performance Single-Antenna Solution for the massive 20 MHz to 3000 MHz spectrum. Its wide vertical beam-width is specifically optimized for clear communication across ground, sea, and ground-to-air links, providing a true omni-directional pattern. By maintaining a low VSWR throughout the entire bandwidth, it eliminates the need for multiple antenna arrays, thereby reducing tower wind loading and simplifying complex RF architectures. This high-efficiency design is ideal for spectrum monitoring, high-power jamming, and mission-critical transmission in the world's most hostile environments.

Technical Features

  • Unparalleled Bandwidth: Continuous, high-efficiency coverage from 20 MHz up to 3000 MHz (3 GHz) in a single unit.
  • Fully Welded Construction: Heavy-duty welded junctions ensure maximum mechanical strength and prevent RF inter-modulation.
  • MIL-SPEC Material Grade: Fabricated from 6063T6 architectural aluminum alloy for a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Marine-Grade Hardware: All nuts, bolts, and screws are crafted from Type 316 stainless steel for total oxidation resistance.
  • Internal Weatherproofing: N-type termination and feed points are enclosed within the mounting pipe for 100% environmental protection.
  • Tactical Protective Coating: Specialized Military Olive Green powder finish resists UV radiation, salt fog, and chemical abrasion.
  • Zero Field Tuning: Factory-calibrated design requires no field adjustments or tuning, ensuring immediate "plug-and-play" reliability.
  • Optimized For Air-to-Ground: Wide vertical beam-width ensures stable links with aircraft, maritime vessels, and terrestrial units.
  • Logistics-Friendly Design: Elements are easily removable for compact storage, transport, and rapid 5-minute field assembly.
  • High Power Performance: Ruggedly built to meet the broadband requirements of high-power base stations and signal jamming applications.

High-Performance Design & Tactical Applications: The AWD-20-3000 is an ultra-wideband passive discone antenna engineered for continuous omni-directional coverage across an exceptionally wide frequency spectrum of 20–3000 MHz. Featuring a 2 dBi gain and low VSWR throughout its entire operational band, this high-efficiency antenna seamlessly handles both transmitting and receiving functions, making it an ideal single-antenna solution for base stations, spectrum monitoring, and signal jamming applications. Built to survive extreme environments, the antenna complies with MIL-STD-810G military standards and features an epoxy-based powder coating on all metallic surfaces that provides comprehensive protection against UV radiation, acid rain, coastal salt spray, and desert sandstorms.

Rugged Construction & Rapid Deployment: The AWD-20-3000 constructed for all-weather durability, this compact and lightweight antenna requires absolutely no field tuning or manual adjustments. The cone and disc hubs are crafted from premium 6063T6 ultra-corrosion-resistant architectural aluminum alloy, while all fasteners and hardware are made of marine-grade 304 stainless steel. To ensure complete weatherproofing, the antenna termination and feed cable are fully enclosed within the mounting pipe. The entire system is finished in a protective olive green powder coating and features a highly packable design with removable elements, allowing for easy shipment and rapid installation in the field using the included specialized mounting hardware.

Removeable Elements: AWD-20-3000 optimized for rapid tactical deployment, the antenna’s modular architecture includes removable cone and disc elements to streamline transport and logistics, while its integrated design completely encloses the N-Type RF termination and coaxial feed line within the mounting mast for absolute weatherproofing.
