                                                   antennas



Overall height above ground to tip of antennas in meters: 2m max.

Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters: 248m.

Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers: 32 km (approx.).

List any natural formations ……: none.

Frequency             Output Power                   EIRP

2.4 – 2.5 GHz         50 W                   5000 W (max with 20 dB gain antenna)

430 - 460 MHz         50 W                   5000 W (max with 20 dB gain antenna)

902 - 928 MHz         50 W                   5000 W (max with 20 dB gain antenna)

Also the actual “transmitter” is the Alien reader. It puts out rf signals in the 902 to 928
Mhz band. Additional electronics is used to convert this to a different frequency range,
e.g., 402 to 428 MHz and amplify the signal to 50W. The final amplification before being
radiated out of the antenna is done by the Ophir unit.
