Aerostat Antennas  — VHF/UHF/L-band

Syntonics offers several models of ultra lightweight, rugged antennas for aerostat radio applications. Each model delivers near-theoretical dipole gain across its operating band. No metallic ground plane is required to achieve this performance, a major plus for lighter-than-air platforms. Antenna models are available for low VHF (30-88 MHz), UHF (225-450 MHz and 420-450 MHz) and L-band (1200-2000 MHz) applications; other bands can also be supplied. Installation options include attaching to the aerostat’s tail fins, suspending below the aerostat’s envelope, and wrapping around the aerostat’s tether.
