Trap elements of the mdiaior are used for frequency selection, Each band resonates with the electrical length of half Lambda(half wave). As T30V-x(A) antenna is designed for such a limited space in where the rotating radius js small, and so it is upwardly slanted either 90 or 140 degree relative fo the horizontal and vertical planes atthe center of radiator element, limiting variation of input impedance due to surrounding metal objets, For those who has a better installtion coneition can expand its V angle wider by elther 140 or 180 degree. Low lors traps and loading capacitors are ‘employed for keeping good radiation eficierey of the antenna. A broadband balun is used atthe input section of the antenna for preventing undesired radiation and for securing a good radiation pattem, (See T7802 in atached page for details of balun transformer) 1.2.

To ensure satisfactory performance of the antenna, ‘better installation condition is required that its installing site must carefully be selected Some preferable ‘xamples of such installation is ilustated in Figure 3. Installing on the ground or the building surrounded adversely 4 tiled wall or roof influences a little wo the antenna performances, If it is set up near it, good performance can be secured. When the antenra is set up on the roof top of concrete stee! building, adjustment is needed so us to have the best directionality, KZ \OCATE ANTENNA AS FARTAEST AS ROBSIBLL 1.5 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT, BUT NOT SUPPLIED ‘The following listed equipments are required for assembling ‘model 730V-x(A): 1) Philip Head Serew Driver 2) Spanner Wrench, for O.D. 7, 10, 13mm Serew 3) Measurement Ruler 4) Coaxial Cable and M-Connectors 5) Adhesive Vinyl Tape 6) 42-61mm Stee!

Refer to Section 1.1~1,6 regarding characteristic for HF band. ‘The characteristic of this antenna for SOMHz js a figure & directivity pattern and is horizonially polarized. ‘The construction of the clement for SOMH2 is that the SOMI» of riator element is horizontally ‘mounted ln purallel in the HF radiatior clement, and is separated from HF element DC eleetically (oes not contact with each ‘other electrially), The charwtriatic of the VSWR jn the both bunds are independent with each other, therefore the performance of HF is consequently not interfered with SOMHE either. 1.24 ASSEMBLY Fig. 6 shows construction of SOMHz section of 730V=xA. The radiator clement for SOMHz shall be mouited to the proper postion of HF clement (nesr balun) with insulator kit. Blefore mounting it to the elmert, select an appropriate frequency you wish most since band determination either Low (50.0-51.7MH) or High (50.5~52.0MHz) is selectable for your application, ASSEMBLING STEP: 1) Assembie the insulator kit and mount them(1)-(4) on the HF elements (Refer Sec-A, Drawing) 2) Insert element tube (6) into tubing hole of insulatce (3). In this stage, let insulator remain free (Do ‘ot fit mounting seew (82) yet in the insulator (3), 3) Fix center section with the element strap (5) and screw as shown in Sec-B, drawing.
