These Japanese Log Periodic antennas offer high gain over a wide frequency range with a quality designed and build. Used by MOD, Amateur Radio Operators (HAMs), Scanner Users and Commercial Users, they combine directivity with excellent signal pulling ability, through the well-established Log Periodic design.
These antennas are capable of transmitting on all amateur bands from 144 MHz to 23 centimetres with up to 500 Watts of RF power, but may also be used for Wideband scanning receivers, VHF/UHF television, FM broadcast, Aviation, Government communications, and business radio!
If you don't have the space or resources to put up several VHF and UHF antennas, the Create CLP-5130-2N VHF/UHF Log-Periodic Antenna is truly your one-antenna solution to VHF/UHF operation up to 23 cm!
Create CLP-5130-2N VHF/UHF Log-Periodic Antennas are high-gain, wideband directional beam antennas. Designed for horizontal polarization, they may also be mounted vertically with user-supplied hardware.
Forward gain from 105 MHz to 1,300 MHz is 11 to 13 dBi, depending on the frequency. They present an SWR of less than 2.0:1 across their entire 1,195 MHz range of operation.
These log-periodics use a specially shaped aluminum boom that allows for movement of the phasing line. Additionally, distortions in the vertical and horizontal planes have been minimized and adjustment of the element-alignment is unnecessary. This results in a more uniform radiation pattern when compared to similar antennas.
Create Log-Periodic antennas are very easy to assemble when compared to other log-periodic designs. Quality is seen everywhere… even the boom-to-mast bracket is made of a rugged magnesium alloy. A Type N connector is employed for maximum signal transfer at high UHF frequencies. To fully utilize the bandwidth of these antennas requires a high-quality coax, like SLMR400.
