The AWD-25-1300 engineering emphasizes its extreme low-frequency starting point (25 MHz) and its heavy-duty, fully welded construction. This model is positioned as a primary infrastructure antenna for high-power base stations requiring a single, ruggedized solution for everything from legacy VHF to modern L-band frequencies.

Logistics: Compact Transport & 5-Minute Field Assembly

The AWD-25-1300 is engineered to bridge the gap between heavy-duty stability and logistical agility. Despite its robust, fully welded hub, the antenna features a Removable Element Design for the cone and disc rods, allowing it to be collapsed into a compact shipping volume. This significantly lowers freight costs and ensures the antenna remains protected during international transit. On-site, the specialized mounting hardware allows for a rapid 5-minute field assembly without the need for specialized tools, making it the perfect choice for emergency response and tactical deployments.

Durability: Severe Environment & Coastal Protection

Designed to survive where conventional antennas fail, the AWD-25-1300 is constructed from 6063T6 ultra-corrosion-resistant architectural anodized aluminum alloy. To combat the corrosive gases, acid rain, and salt spray found in coastal or industrial areas, the entire metallic surface is treated with a Military Olive Green powder coating. Furthermore, all fasteners are crafted from Type 316 marine-grade stainless steel, and the critical RF connection is housed entirely within the mounting pipe for 100% weather protection against moisture and desert sandstorms.

Efficiency: The Ultimate High-Power Broadband Solution

The AWD-25-1300 serves as a high-performance Single-Antenna Solution for the massive 25 MHz to 1300 MHz frequency range. Its wide vertical beam-width is specifically optimized for clear communication across ground, sea, and ground-to-air links. By maintaining a low VSWR throughout the entire band, it eliminates the requirement for multiple antennas, reducing tower wind loading and simplifying RF infrastructure. This high-efficiency design is ideal for high-power transmission, sensitive spectrum monitoring, and wide-area jamming applications.

Technical Features

  • Ultra-Wideband Versatility: Continuous, high-efficiency coverage from 25 MHz to 1300 MHz (1.3 GHz).
  • High-Power Capacity: Engineered to handle high-power transmission for base station and jamming applications.
  • Fully Welded Structural Integrity: Heavy-duty welded junctions ensure maximum durability and zero RF inter-modulation.
  • MIL-SPEC Materials: Constructed from 6063T6 architectural aluminum alloy for a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Marine-Grade Hardware: Uses Type 316 stainless steel for all nuts, bolts, and screws to ensure total corrosion resistance.
  • Weatherproof Termination: The N-type feed cable and termination are enclosed within the mounting pipe for protection.
  • Tactical Finish: Supplied with a durable epoxy-based Military Olive Green coating to resist UV and chemical degradation.
  • Field-Ready Design: Requires zero field tuning or adjustments; factory-matched for immediate "plug-and-play" use.
  • Omni-Directional Coverage: True 360-degree horizontal radiation pattern with a wide vertical beam-width for air-to-ground links.
  • Optimized Shipping: Compact "knock-down" design allows elements to be removed for easy handling and reduced shipping bulk.

Design Features: AWD-25-1300 discone antenna is specially designed for Omni directional coverage. Due to it’s low VSWR through entire band from 25-1300 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 Discone antenna when packed comes with Cone and Disc elements removed from the antenna body for ease of packing and shipment.

Construction: AWD-25-1300 wideband discone antenna is rugged all weather model, does not require any field tuning or adjustments. The compact size of discone antenna allows easy handling and specially designed mounting hardware results in fast installation. The cone and disc hubs of wide band discone antennas are made of high quality aluminum and all fasteners are of marine grade stainless steel. Discone Antenna termination and feed cable lie enclosed inside the mounting pipe for complete weather protection. The antenna is supplied with powder coating finish to protect it further from sever environmental conditions.
