FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Durable
Easy to install
High performance
125 W PEP RF power rating
The Code 463 Terminated Folded Dipole Antenna is a
3-wire antenna designed for broadband operation in
fi xed stations and has a power rating of 125 W PEP.
The Code 463 Antenna can be mounted horizontally
between two support systems, or as an inverted “V”
using a single central support mast.
DURABILITY
The Code 463 Antenna is made from lightweight, weatherproof
materials designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions
and wind speeds greater than 200 km/h.
The wire elements are constructed of high quality, corrosion resistant
stainless steel, with balun and load housings, and insulators made
from UV resistant, durable moulded plastic.
EASY TO INSTALL
The Code 463 Antenna is supplied completely assembled and ready
for erection with an inverted “V” mounting arm and detailed
erection instructions.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Due to the optimum performance of the Code 463 Antenna over a
wide HF range, an antenna tuner is not required — minimising cost
and setup requirements.
The performance of the Code 463 Antenna is very similar in both
horizontal and inverted “V” confi gurations.
The inverted “V” confi guration provides a good overall solution
for most base station applications with the added benefi t of only
requiring a single mast for installation.
For long-range operation, the horizontal confi guration
is recommended.
