The RF-1912E-AT001 is a fan dipole antenna radiating element
capable of 1 kW maximum operation from 1.6 to 30 MHz. The RF-
1912E-AT001 has been optimized for both NVIS communications
between 1.6 and 10 MHz and medium-range skywave out to 746 miles
(~1200 km) for 10 to 30 MHz. The element length and height above
ground have been designed to optimize take-off-angle for HF skywave
propagation. The antenna can also be configured as a top-loaded
monopole for short-range groundwave and long-range skywave. It
achieves near 100% radiation efficiency because it does not contain
any resistive loads. Broadband operation requires an antenna coupler.
