HP-RCA 2/2 services similar coverage areas as the classical LPD (Log Periodic Dipole Antenna) with up to 45% higher efficiency of the radiated power into a defined target area. Additional comparative figures of merit include In addition, the HP-RCA 2/2 has a better overall efficiency, requires less land, is easier to maintain and affords better reliability with regard to storms and electrostatic effects. The footprint of this powerful and highly flexible system is surprisingly small. With dimensions of 51m x 51m, the foundation surface needs less than 12m x 12m. The covered area has a radius of approximately 50m. With an overall weight of 80t, the antenna has a maximum survival wind speed of 240 km and a maximum operational wind speed of 120 km. It takes less than 3 minutes for a 180ø rotation. Based on a rigid array and a tubular shaft, the HP-RCA 2/2 is a back-to-back arrangement of a low band and a high band curtain antenna equipped with a reflector screen. The 2/2 configuration gives a good radiation pattern performance with moderate structural effort. Whereas the classical HR 2/2 curtain antenna solution is based on a fix structure with phasing system limited to less than 20ø azimuthal slewing with considerable sidelobes, the new rotatable structure with a central shaft has 360ø azimuthal performance radiation patterns without sidelobes.
