According to customers requirements. Null fill and beam tilt upon request. Omnidirectional, directional or custom-designed. Upon request, the antenna can be divided into 2 halves (for measurement and maintenance). The 2 halves are connected by a 2-way power splitter or patch panel. Splitters and connecting cables can be supplied with dry air (please specify when ordering). If required, the antenna is painted in aviation warning colours. 2 versions are available: a) Panels mounted on hot-dip galvanized steel spine. b) Panels mounted inside self-supporting fiberglass cylinder (1.6 m ) Via mounting parts. 225 km/h
