Data sheet

70cm Wideband CROSS Antenna 70cmCROSS46W  for EME, DX-ing, Contesting, FM work, and part of Super LEO 430-440MHz :

70cm Wideband CROSS Antenna 70cm46CROSS Super LEO

What does 70cmCROSS46W mean?

  • 70cm – 70cm band 430-440MHz
  • 46 – 46 elements, 23 elements of horizontal polarization, and 23 elements of vertical polarization
  • CROSS – CROSS Yagi antenna has horizontal and vertical elements – separated on a single boom, the antenna is mounted in a “+” format.

This 70cm CROSS Antenna 70cmCROSS46W is used as part of the Super LEO Pack for Satellites LEO Antenna Set with added RHCP Kit.

LEO satellites – Low Earth orbit satellites in Ham Radio.

LEO satellites have a circular (or elliptical) orbit at the height of 250–2000 km from the Earth’s surface. The maximum time during which a satellite is above the local horizon for an observer on the Earth is up to 20 min. This time is used to transfer data, images, and photographs to selected ground stations positioned in strategic locations.

A number of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) OSCAR satellites use frequency modulation (FM). These are also commonly referred to as “FM LEOs” or the “FM Birds”. Such satellites act as FM amateur radio repeaters that can be communicated by using commonly available amateur radio equipment.

Electrical Specifications:

  • Frequency Range: 430 – 440 MHz
  • Free Space Forward Gain: 18.1 dBi
  • Front-to-Back Ratio: 30 dB
  • -3 dB Horizontal Beamwidth: 25.1°
  • -3 dB Vertical Beamwidth: 26°
  • Polarization: Horizontal and Vertical. RHCP and LHCP with phase shift
    Distance Between Dipoles: 173mm
  • Degrees: 90°
  • Isolation Between Antennas: More than 28dB
  • Nominal Input Impedance: 50 Ohms
  • SWR Across Entire Band: < 1.2
  • Maximum Power Input: 2 x 850W
  • Matching Method: Direct feed through common mode choke (current balun)
  • Connectors: 2 x “N”

What about Orthogonality and related to that isolation between antennas (coupling) say SM5BSZ

“The NEC simulations above show that an isolation of 20 dB is sufficient. This means that the obvious way of checking a cross Yagi is to connect one of the feed lines to a transmitter with known output, and a power meter and a dummy load to the other. The attenuation is then measured directly through the power arriving at the dummy load. If it is below -20 dB compared to the transmitted power everything is fine. ”

Excellent results of isolation achieved -28 dB. Much better than SM5BSZ suggested:
