CXL 3-1LW
Unity-Gain, Omnidirectional Base Station Antenna for the
International Aircraft Band
DESCRIPTION
CXL 3-1LW is a 0 dBd, vertically polarized, omnidirectional base station antenna for the
118 - 137 MHz civil aircraft band.
The antenna is a broad-banded ½ λ dipole design, and it is equipped with our type “LW”
mast mount, which is a lightweight, multi-purpose, epoxy-coated aluminium mounting
bracket with stainless steel fittings.
The antenna can be mounted on vertical or horizontal mast tubes, 16 to 54 mm in outer
diameter. Further, the construction of the mount makes it possible to lead the cable
either along the inside or on the outside of the mast tube.
A conical glass fibre tube with very low wind-loading completely encloses the carefully
designed radiating element to ensure long dependable service in all climates.
To substantially reduce noise caused by atmospherical discharges, all metal parts in the
antenna are DC-grounded. Consequently, the antenna shows a DC-short across the
coaxial cable.
CXL 3-1LW is a vibration-proof, lightweight, slim-line, corrosion-resistant, modern style
base station antenna.
