Broadband Active Antenna V2

Cross Country Wireless have released the Broadband Active Antenna V2 with a frequency range of 200 kHz to 1100 MHz.

The antenna is a vertical antenna 730 mm long with a built-in low noise RF amplifier.

The antenna amplifier is fed via the coax cable with a supply voltage of 4.5 to 14 V.

The latest version of the antenna uses a revised antenna element with linear loading. Antenna gain is typically 2,2 dBi on the VHF and UHF bands.

Having the antenna amplifier directly connected to the antenna element enhances RF performance as the cable loss between the antenna and receiver doesn't add directly to the overall noise figure at VHF and UHF frequencies.

At LF and HF frequencies the antenna acts as a short dipole electric field antenna isolated from the feeder cable.

Common mode RF chokes inside the antenna isolate the antenna element and amplifier from the feeder giving typically 40 dB of isolation between the feeder and antenna element

A BNC female connector is used on the antenna.

The antenna can be powered using the internal bias tee of any SDRPlay receiver

The antenna is useful for airband or aircraft band monitoring as the HF SSB, VHF civil, VHF military and ADS-B frequencies can be monitored using one antenna.

The antenna is now in regular batch production.
