HF Antenna Systems (1.6-30 MHz)
C&S Antennas manufactures HF wire antennas for short, medium and long range communications. The antennas are designed for tactical, emergency and fast-reaction situations.
Wires are Kevlar cored, copper braided and pvc coated with a no-kink feature. They are numbered for accurate set-up and are designed for the military environment with the solider in mind.
LFH-230 FANLITE™
Omnidirectional Theater Range HF Wire Antenna
The LFH-230 FANLITE™ antenna is a lightweight, transportable HF wire antenna intended for omnidirectional skywave communications to a range of about 2,000 miles, including short-range Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) operation. Supplied in a rapidly assembled kit form, the antenna is designed for use with C&S Antennas’ telescopic CARRYMAST™. When erected on one of these masts, the LFH-230 FANLITE™ may be set-up by two people in less than 25 minutes.
LONGSHOT™
Tactical Long Range HF Wire Antenna
The Longshot™ is a lightweight, transportable HF wire antenna intended primarily for long-range skywave communications. Supplied in a rapidly assembled kit form, the antenna may be erected in a variety of long wire configurations (including a low profile, jam-resistant mode) to meet contingency. The Longshot™ has a 500 Foot Sloping Vee –
Long-Range, Transmit/ Receive.
MULTILITE™ Tactical Antenna (MTA)
Multi-Configuration HF Tactical Antenna System
The Multilite™ Tactical Antenna system or MTA is a key element in a communication system since its deployment can be controlled by the operator to suit all operational requirements. It is comprised of seven separate antennas for seven roles:
- Horizontal dipole – omnidirectional at short or medium-range, broadside at long-range
- Sloping dipole – omnidirectional for short/medium-range
- Bent dipole – low frequency ground wave
- Inverted L – low frequency ground waves
- Base Feed Vertical – omnidirectional for ground and long-distance skywave
- Sloping V – directional medium-range
- Inverted V – inverted V long-range directional
