HP-RCA Rotatable Antenna Systems

Optimized Shortwave Antenna Design for DRM Coverage

Our HP-RCA 2/2 shortwave antenna system is optimized for near distant coverage (1000 - 4000 km) in analog AM or digital DRM modes. A back-to-back arrangement of a low-band and a high-band curtain antenna equipped with a reflector screen, it offers a 360-degree azimuth at the touch of a fingertip. Specifically designed to meet the needs of shortwave users, the HP-RCA is the most flexible antenna system today with respect to choice of coverage area and frequency.

Key Features

Rotates to cover a 360° coverage angle for complete flexibility with a single antenna structure

  • Covers all shortwave broadcast bands (6-26 MHz) with only one antenna
  • High antenna gain:
    • HP-RCA 2/2: 14 dBi-19 dBi
    • HP-RCA 4/4: 19 dBi-24 dBi
  • High front-to-back ratio; perfect DC grounding
  • Sturdy rigid dipole design for safe operation under extreme environmental conditions
  • System maintainability (no guy wire system, easy access to main parts, minimized number of insulators)
  • Small footprint enables reduced space requirements
