man pack Sat Ant

brushingham.d · 11-16-2010, 10:30

I have been working for a company that is now building a man pack sat on the move will cover the required freq ranges 225-350MHz and will clip on to your pack or directly to the radio. all of this is packaged into a mold and will fit in your pocket.

this antenna has gone through several testing phases and it is determined that it is ready for production, i was able to have it tested over seas and state side with the only failures coming when the take off angles was less then 25deg but at that angle there are not many antennas that will make it.

i have redesigned the elements so that they are rigged and will come back to their origanal position, and with a VSWR of 2.5:1 or less Avg.
this is not the end all be all it has taken the field expediant antenna and improved on the concept and packaged in a form fit factor and made it a durable antenna.

Looks a lot like a field expediant that was being used in Iraq. Basically a couple of connectors w/ a coat hanger shaped like a rams head soldered on. That one had to be cut to a specific freq though.

Hey brush,

You have any more of these to test?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't you in the 1/5 commo shed the last few yrs of your career?
