Ever increasing costs and site density requirements are reducing availabilty ‘of antenna positions on prime site. In order to reduce the overall number of antennas the RFI digole array series provides system engineers and site ‘owners with a flexible solution to reduce antenna numbers, The RFI combination arrays are available in three types: The Single Section Multiple Array ‘A combination of two arrays mounted upon a single piece of 1.9" diameter, 118" longth mast section. These arrays are common where any combination ‘of medium gain UHF omnidirectional, offset or eliptical arrays are required ‘The feeding of each ofthe arrays is via separate coaxial cable tails at the base of the array. ‘Some common configuration examples are showin in the following tables. The ‘electrical specifications are very similar to those provided for the individual arrays listed within the catalog, Shown on the let isthe BA4040-67. The Dual Section Combination Dipole Array ‘These arrays are provided in two sections for ease of shipping and handling ‘and can be assembled on site ‘The lower section array is made on a larger diameter mast stock, the ‘upper array telescoping into the lower section. Both upper and lower ‘arrays can be any one of our standard UHF arrays or be externally ‘coupled for even higher gain using @ PH42-67 phasing harness. This type ‘of configuration provides unrestricted gain, pattern and beamtilt ‘combinations. ‘Some more common configuration examples are shown in the following tablo. The electrical spociications are very similar to those provided for the individual arrays previously listed within he catalog. Shown on the lets the ‘BA0-67L lower section with OA40.67 upper section. The Combination Collinear and Dipole Array ‘Similar in many regards to the above arrays this type of combination array ‘employs a collinear antenna as the upper section of the array. These arrays. are ideal where tower wind loading is a critical consideration. The collinear antenna fis into a lower section array, which can be essantialy any style of ‘our higher gain UHF dipole arrays. ‘The collinear antenna (COL8 or COL17) is held in an adapter which can be fitted to any appropriately configured UHF dipole array. ‘A sample of the more common configurations are provided in the folowing table.
