When reliable HF communications are required,
the Model 120 HF Antenna System is the obvious
choice. Currently deployed on US and NATO
radio systems throughout the world,
Shakesperare® HF antennas provide the reliable
communications you demand in the field.
The Model 120 Antenna System suits a variety of
mountings, antenna heights and configurations.
Choose the components you need for your
specific application. A custom carry case is
available along with a wide variety of mounts.
The Model 120’s unique design achieves
strength and reliability by merely hand tightenting
the sections. The antenna system takes
advantage of Shakespeare’s®
exclusive design taper rolled
thread ferrules to ensure
mechanical strength transfer
with positive eletrical contact,
even during flexing. As a result
Model 120 is quick to assemble
and quick to move. Special
assembly tools are not required.
One person can assemble and
erect the antenna in minutes.

Whether used in battlefield, tactical, or C41
conditions, Shakespeare’s® broadband
technology will provide maximum performance
for the latest multi-mission radios from the
leading US and international manufacturers.
Our broad band antennas provide exceptional
gain and instantaneous bandwidth performance
for the 30-512 MHz spectrum in a completely
passive application. No tuners, band switching,
or operator intervention required.
Shakespeare’s® tactical vehicle antennas
are advanced broadband, vertically polarized
antennas for the VHF 30-108 MHz bands. Our
most advanced designs, the 4242-MK2A and
4242-MK3, feature high performance and an
improved power rating. These high-performance
broadband antennas are ideally suited for use
on personnel carriers, tanks, shelters, and other
tactical vehicles. They maintain a VSWR of better
than 3.5:1 over the entire frequency spectrum.

Dual and Broadband Antennas L Band and C Band AntennasVehicle Antennas Vehicle Antennas
Today’s versatile radios demand equal versatility in antenna technology for quality communication
over every available band. Versatility and simplicity are paramount, and that’s what you get with
Shakespeare® antennas. We provide optimal signal and transmission strength with a minimal antenna
requirement to satisfy this demand. For vehicular, ground and manpack platforms, there’s less to see
and to maintain. Shakespeare L and C band antenna features include:
interference reduction. The design allows
mechanical and electrical performance equivalent
to legacy antennas and utilizes only one
mounting system. The antenna’s interface
reduction is gained through unique matching
and choking methodologies allowing two
separate feed lines up to 50dB of isolation
between the two antennas. The small diameter
radome also reduces visual signature of multiple
antennas, yet provides the robust mechanical
strength to thrive in hostile tactical environments.
When combined with the most recent fielded
multiplexing designs, this antenna can well
tolerate the RF energies produced from multiple
transmitters on each band.

Shakespeare® has teamed with Rolatube™
and is proud to offer a line of light weight, highly
portable mast systems developed for man
portable tactical use. The system is designed
to minimize the size and weight of package
carried by the user and is significantly lighter
than any comparable system currently available.
Quick and simple to deploy and may be used
either fully extended or partially rolled out for
shorter deployment length. Unlike metal or
carbon composite masts, the thermal signature
of BRC masts is minimal. Available in a variety
of diameters and lengths, this highly versatile
system can be used to extend antennas,
cameras, sensors or most any device. Also
available are tripod and personnel recovery
systems using the same technology. We have a
product to meet most any situation.

Shakespeare® is the North American
distributor of the TM and TR Series Custom
Mast Systems manufactured by
Cobham Mast Systems of Finland.
They are specifically designed for
the customer’s unique
requirements for tactical or general
communications systems, civil
defense, disaster preparedness,
police and emergency work. Every
mast detail and guy assembly is
designed to resist external forces
and to ensure quick and safe operation.
The masts perform excellently in arctic, tropical
and desert environments. The mast
is a push up model and can be
supplemented with mounting kits for
vehicles and shelters as well as a
variety of other ancillary equipment.
TM light weight telescopic masts extend
to 12 meters for top loads to 11 lbs;
TR masts extend to 12 meters for loads
up to 17 lbs.
Shakespeare’s® series of lightweight aluminum
masts are precision engineered and designed
to meet the most exacting tasks of modern
communications offered in manual (push-up)
or pneumatic models. Although primarily
for military use to support various types of
antennas, these masts are used in a wide range
of alternative applications, including support
of remote controlled TV and CCTV cameras,
public address loudspeakers, floodlights and
emergency lighting for airfields and construction
sites. The masts are manufactured from high
tensile aluminum alloy, the standard 8, 10 and
12m masts comprise of eight sections to ensure
a combination of minimum weight,
minimum retracted height and
maximum strength. Each section is
positively locked in its full or partially
extended position by a specially
designed friction clamp. This clamp
is a particular feature of these masts
and provides a positive self-aligning
clamping force actuated by a lever
forming part of an over-center toggle
arrangement.
