VHF omnidirectional antenna for vertical polarization

The VHF Coaxial Dipole R&S®HK012E is an omnidirectional antenna for vertically polarized waves.

The antenna features high suppression of skin currents and high protection against lightning strokes in the vicinity.

Due to its sturdy design and low wind load, it is suitable for mobile use, particularly on ships.
