Detailed Description

The VAS-108-01 is a Broadband Vehicular Whip Antenna system designed specifically for tactical VHF jamming applications. The antenna also functions well to provide reliable VHF communications for a range of military vehicles when used with a frequency agile radio that operates within its extended VHF frequency band of 25-88 MHz.

The complete antenna system is comprised of an upper whip, a lower whip and an insulated mounting base. The two whips thread together by hand which are then screwed onto the base matching unit to complete the system.

​

The insulated mounting base houses the impedance matching network which provides a VSWR of less than 3.5:1 across the operating frequency band. The matching network is capable of continuous transmit power levels of up to 100 watts.

​

The VAS-108-01 provides many safety features, both for the user and the equipment attached: High voltage isolation up to 10 kV (RMS) in the whip sections in case of accidental strike of the antenna to overhead power-lines; a moulded neoprene rubber eye protection device installed at the tip of the whip; and an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) protection device integrated within the base matching network.
