HF500/1000 High Power Broadcast Antenna Matching

HF500/1000 High Power Broadcast Antenna Matching

Our 50 kW and 100 kW Series of Broadcast Antenna Matching Transformers are designed for seamless integration into systems requiring the matching of 200 ohm or 300 ohm open wire feeds to a 50 ohm coaxial feeder.
Key Features:
  • Efficient Matching: Our transformers ensure smooth matching of open wire feeds to a coaxial feeder, providing reliable and seamless performance.
  • Broad Band Operation: A major highlight of these transformers is their broad band operation, eliminating the need for ferrite material in the design, resulting in very low loss.
  • High Power Handling: Choose from our Type HF 500 (50 kW average) or Type HF 1000 (100 kW average) models, depending on your specific power requirements.
  • Versatile Frequency Range: Enjoy broad band coverage from 3 to 22 MHz, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of frequencies.
  • All-Weather Operation: Designed for all-weather unprotected operation, ensuring reliability and performance in any environmental condition.
Discover the convenience of small size broad band matching networks with our HF 1000 range, offering 200 or 300 ohm balanced outputs. Upgrade your broadcast antenna system with our reliable and high-performance Broadcast Antenna Matching Transformers, delivering unmatched efficiency and reliability for seamless signal transmission.
