Low Profile 2 Meter Slot Antenna

Phantom or Low profile Whipless antenna is tough and low-profile and the revolutionary design features an omni-direcdtional radiation and vertical polarization components. This gives the antenna frequency agility, low visibility, and a low angle radiation pattern that is superior to traditional gain antennas in most ap. Low-profile cavity-backed crossed-slot antenna with a single-probe feed designed for 2.34-GHz satellite radio applications Abstract: This paper describes a novel, low-profile antenna for the satellite digital audio radio service.

  • Antenna projects for 144 MHz category is a curation of 149 web resources on, Feed line Dipole for 2 Meters, OCF 2 Meter Sleeve Dipole Antenna, Simple VHF Antenna. Resources listed under Antenna for 2 meters category belongs to Antennas main collection, and get reviewed and rated by amateur radio operators.
  • Dropping the latter's above-ground vertical profile to a more reasonable 52 feet would only reduce its gain advantage to about 3.5 dB, and further reducing the vertical profile to a low 32 feet would put the gain advantage at a still-worthwhile 2.8 dB.

Description

Benefits:

  • Rugged construction for years of reliable service
  • Low noise floor picks up weak signals better than comparable wire or plastic enclosed antennas
  • Wide bandwidth, (4+ MHz across the 2 meter band). No need to retune
  • Omnidirectional RF radiation pattern is balanced for communicating with stations at or slightly above the horizon line.
  • Pretuned and ready to go for the 2 meter amateur radio band

Dual Band Performance in a single antenna:

Low Profile 2 Meter Slot Antennas

Each antenna is individually tested and tuned for optimum performance on their respective bands. The two meter antenna is tuned to 146MHZ (1.2:1 SWR or less at 146MHz), and the SWR is 1.4:1 or less throughout the entire 2 meter band. This antenna also works great as a dual band antenna. The antenna will tune up on 70cm for excellent dual band performance.
