CL-40, Self-supporting, Capacitive Top-loaded AntennaThe CL-40 antenna is designed to provide a complete antenna-tuning-matching package when supplied with a Nautel Automatic Antenna Unit to interface directly at a 50 ohm unbalanced level with low/medium power transmitters in the LF and MF bands. It is particularly suitable for radiobeacon installations normally fitted with a whip where low profile and better efficiency and bandwidth are important. Highlights include:

Increased EfficiencyThe effective radiated power from an electrically short LF/MF antenna is proportional to the square of the antenna’s effective height. The values of HE for a conventional, base fed, vertical radiator without capacitive top loading elements such as a whip antenna is 0.5. The CL-40 design includes a capacitive top loading element structure and a loading coil at the mid point of the antenna height which contains approximately 90% of the inductance required to series resonate the antenna capacity. These two elements increase the effective height (He) of the CL-40 to approximately 75% of its physical height of 40 feet (12.2 m). The capacitive top loading element structure offers the additional benefit of improved antenna system bandwidth. |
Small FootprintThe antenna is a self-supporting antenna, with no guys, and is ideally suited for locations where space is at a premium. |
 |
 |
Ease of Installation and MaintenanceThe lightweight construction of the CL-40 which includes a winch for raising and lowering the antenna provides for easy installation, inspection and maintenance requirements. The antenna can be raised and lowered once assembled via the included winch in a few minutes. |
Suitable for Marine Coastal StationsThe CL-40 is supplied with components including stainless steel cable and wire which are suited for the marine environment found at coastal stations around the world. |

Ground PlaneA suitable ground plane configuration, based on site conditions and required antenna system performance will be recommended by Nautel. |
