Details of the TITANEX DLPD 15 Log Periodic Antenna


TITANEX is the first supplier of antennas using Aluminium Titanium alloy. Tubes of aluminium titanium are harder than steel but as light as aluminium.
TITANEX is specialized in full size antenna designs, without Traps, Baluns etc.

TECHNICAL DATA
The DLPD 15 is a log periodical dipole antenna with 15 elements made with state-of-the-art technology. The frame is made from Aluminum-Titanium alloy tubes , which are harder than steel, but as light as aluminum. The fabric is made from Kevlar rope and high-grade steel wire and are resistant to the elements and windloading. Also, the installed isolating parts from Glasfiber plastic withstand all demands necessary. Every wire dipole is stretched between the isolated ropes. The isolating ropes are manufactured from Kevlar and coated for UV-protection with Polyester.

The DLPD 15 is designed for 14 to 30 MHz , and a turning radius of 5.50 m. Titanex has also designed, in the free part of the frame, a 10.1 MHz and a 7 MHz half-wave dipole. So, you can use the DLPD 15 from 7-30 MHz, but with construction dimensions as from a 14-30 MHz LPD. The DLPD 15 has 11 elements for the LPD array 14-30 MHz , 2 elements for 7 and 10 MHz, and two reflectors for the 15 and 20 meter bands. Thus, the explanation for the name "DLPD 15," DLPD which means Draht (Wire) Log Periodic Dipole with 15 elements.
