UHF Shrouded Dipole

The PRO-SHDU is a rugged UHF shrouded dipole antenna designed for reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions. The dipole assembly is housed within a UV-protected PVC plastic radome for added durability and protection.

The centre feed exits through a tee section attached to a 38mm OD anodised aluminium boom, with an RG213 coax tail routed down the centre of the boom. Supplied with a fitted end mount clamp, the PRO-SHDU is designed for mounting to a vertical 48mm OD tube.

A reflector element can also be added to create a two-element shrouded yagi, providing 3dB gain.

Model PRO-SHDU

This model provides a rugged mechanical design ideal for the harsh environment.

The dipole assembly is housed in a UV protected PVC plastic radome. The centre feed is taken out through a ‘tee’ attached to a 38mm OD x 3mm wall anodised aluminium boom. A RG213 coax tail is fed down the centre of the boom. The PRO-SHDU dipole is supplied with a fitted End Mount Clamp designed for mounting to a vertical 48mm OD tube.

A reflector element can be added to this design to produce a two element shrouded yagi which has a gain of 3dB.
