Preparing the 2110 SSB Transceiver for use
40 2110 SSB Transceiver Reference Manual
Wire dipole antenna
The wire dipole antenna is a single frequency antenna that is deployed to a particular
length corresponding to its operational frequency. It cannot be used in scanning
applications.
The wire dipole antenna is designed for deployment on the connector on the front
panel of the 2110 SSB Transceiver with three support structures. The wire dipole
antenna is suitable for communication over short to long distances up to 5000 km
(3000 mi), using frequencies of 3–30 MHz. It is restricted to a fixed site for transmission
and reception.
Table 10: Advantages and limitations of a broadband dipole antenna
Advantages Limitations
Suitable for scanning applications.
Multifrequency operation.
Generally, more efficient than the end-fed
broadband antenna.
Requires at least one support structure and
appropriate space, oriented correctly for
the required direction of communication.
Table 11: Advantages and limitations of a wire dipole antenna
Advantages Limitations
Good signal quality.
Suitable for medium to long-distance
communications.
Requires at least three support structures
and appropriate space, oriented correctly
for the required direction of
communication.
Single frequency operation, therefore not
suitable for scanning applications.
Length of antenna is specific to the desired
frequency of operation.
