Fixed NVIS Loop Antenna
The SMC Fixed Station Loop Antennas provide seamless and efficient HF communication, combining the power of NVIS and long-distance sky-wave propagation modes across 3-30MHz.
Like their mobile counterparts, these fixed station loop antennas boast automatic tuning capabilities, adjusting across their frequency range in less than a 50th of a second. Compatible with virtually any HF transceiver, including frequency hopping types, no separate control is required for operation.
Choose from our two versions of fixed station loop antennas, both offering exceptional performance:
1. Wire Element Loop with 3m sides
2. Solid Element Loop with 2.5m sides
Both options provide similarly high efficiencies, making them ideal for applications with limited space while rivaling the performance of much larger wideband HF wire antennas.
In receive mode, the antenna is factory-set to automatically store its tuning settings for the last tuned transmit frequency, maximising receive efficiency for non-scanning/frequency hopping modes.
Alternatively, upon user preference during ordering, it can be factory-set to operate ‘un-tuned’ in receive mode, enabling wide-band reception for scanning modes like ALE (Automatic Link Establishment) reception.
