LOG PERIODIC ANTENNAS


Seavey Engineering has developed specialty log-periodic antennas for use in the VHF through C-band frequency ranges. Both pyramidal and crossed structures are available. Several high power designs have been delivered.

All models are dual polarized with a minimum of 20 dB isolation and a maximum 2:1 VSWR. All models are available with a compatible quadrature hybrid for dual circular polarized operation. Those products designated with a Feed Option can be used as feeds for reflectors with F/D ratios in the 0.40 - 0.55 range.

The following are some typical designs:

Model 9421-850 is a crossed LP design with a single feed point. It has an axial ratio less than 3 dB from 790 - 1000 MHz and is useful as an array element.
