VHF Folded Dipoles & Yagis – Standard Series
The Standard Series VHF folded dipoles and yagis are lightweight, durable antennas designed for urban site installations. Constructed from silver anodised 6000 series aluminium, they offer strong corrosion resistance and robust performance in compact installations. With 50 Ohm nominal feed impedance, sealed matching sections, and flexible mounting options for vertical or horizontal polarisation, this range is ideal for reliable VHF site coverage.
Models FDV & Y2V to Y6V
The standard range of VHF yagis and folded dipoles are designed for urban site installations. Being lightweight with a small projected surface area, they can be installed on low cost supports. The coding “FD” indicates a folded dipole and “Y” indicates a yagi.
These antennas are constructed from grade 6000 series aluminium and corrosion resistance is increased by a silver anodised finish.
Elements are 12.7 x 1.42mm extruded sections, which provides a robust antenna.
The boom section is 25 x 25 x 1.8mm square tube, to which the elements are clamped. This system allows the aerial to be shipped as a kitset. Cast aluminium clamps with stainless steel hardware are used to mount each element to the boom.
The nominal feed impedance is 50 Ohms with the matching section sealed within the driven element, eliminating the need for an external balun.
Mounting for vertical polarisation is standard. Mounting options available for clamping to 25mm, 38mm, 48mm or 63mm outside diameters include the mounting clamps, saddle clamps or the universal clamp. The universal clamp provides flexibility in mounting for either vertical or horizontal polarisation.
