V/UHF Whip Antenna - 18-12

The 18-12 antenna is a high performance, broadband whip antenna designed for specific use over the frequency band 30 MHz to 400 MHz. It is designed predominately for use on helicopters. The 18-12 antenna employs a whip element primarily for use at VHF together with a parasitically excited sleeve monopole designed for operation over the UHF band. Decoupling techniques are incorporated to avoid deleterious interaction and preserve high performance throughout all operating bands. A frequency dependant matching network is fitted to ensure acceptable low band VSWR with minimum loss of gain.
