The low frequency aperture provides omni-directional coverage at the lower VHF bands with high gain performance by utilizing an efficient matching network. The upper frequency aperture is comprised of stacked dipole elements located near the top of the assembly avoiding potential blockage by the vehicle. The Q182 utilizes a proven assembly which is based on the Q71 JTIDS antenna. The design also incorporates a unique spring damper assembly that prevents the antenna from oscillating after an impact.
