Compact 4-channel DF Antenna

DF-A0303
Active

The DF-A0303 is a tri band, compact DF antenna intended for manpack direction-finding on the move from 20 MHz to 6000 MHzbrThe antenna presents patterns suitable for 4-channel correlative DF (CDF).brThe DF-A0303 has a low noise amplifier on each channel with passive bypass capability, an integrated noise source or optional external signal can be used for downstream RF chain calibration and also includes a navigation and GPS.
