The VHF handheld radio antenna AD-44/CW-3175 is a wideband monopole whip, primarily intended for use with portable (handheld) radios in VHF frequency range from 30 to 175 MHz. Electrical performances of the antenna are optimized for hadheld radios. The antenna is composed of radiating part made of tape radiator, covered with plastic sleeve and of the antenna matching unit with built-in a special passive transformer tuning network enclosed in plastic housing above the input coaxial connector. Between the tape radiator and matching unit is a flexible goose-neck allows bending the antenna to be always in vertical position. The AD-44/CW-3175 can be also used for jamming signal.
