(Source: Bonito Press Release<\/a>)<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the model year 2016, there is good news in the range of our MegaLoop Active Loop Antennas:<\/em><\/p>\n

New Model: MegaLoop ML052<\/em><\/h2>\n

\"MegaLoop<\/a>The new Active Loop MegaLoop ML052<\/a>, which is available end of February, is the successor to our MegaLoop 060.\u00a0Based on the proven technology of theMegaLoop 200<\/a> platform, an additional low pass filter with an extra FM-band-stop was integrated. Thus, the ML052 is especially suitable for operation near strong FM-stations and higher frequencies , where, because of its broadband capacity, the ML200 could be overloaded by strong signals.<\/em><\/p>\n

Frequency range:<\/strong><\/em>
\nLow Gain: 9kHz \u2013 52 MHz<\/em>
\nHigh Gain: 9 kHz \u2013 36 MHz<\/em>
\nSuppression on FM (88 \u2013 108 MHz): max. 40 dB<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Intercept Point<\/strong><\/em>
\nIP:3: typ. +40dBm<\/em>
\nIP2: typ. +84 dBm<\/em><\/p>\n

The effect of the integrated filter can be seen very good on these two images:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"ML052<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

ML052 in Low Gain Mode<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Like the ML 200, the amplification of the ML052 can be changed internally with a jumper:<\/strong><\/em>
\na) High Gain: 0-36MHz<\/em>
\nb) Low Gain: 0-52 MHz (-7dB)<\/em>
\nSuppression of the FM band: (88-108MHz): max. 40dB<\/em><\/p>\n

Outstanding intermodulation surpression, with only 5 volts!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\"CPI1000<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

CPI1000 with a standard Powerbank<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The MegaLoop ML052 achieved outstanding values regarding intermodulation suppression even at a low supply voltage from only 5V. It can be powered either by a conventional plug power supply or even via USB. Powering via USB has the advantage that no external power supply is needed and that the antenna can be used autonomously and noise-free with a separate USB power bank. A appropriate dual power input adapter (CPI1000) is already included in the standard package.<\/em><\/p>\n

The MegaLoop ML052 can now be pre-ordered in our eShop underwww.hamradioshop.net<\/a>. In the UK at Taylor Made RF.<\/em><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
