The B55SS is a ZCG Scalar broadband VHF air band monocone antenna engineered for reliable, full-band coverage across the 118-137 MHz aviation frequency range. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and delivering 0 dBd gain, this antenna provides stable, omnidirectional performance for critical airband communications where consistency and clarity are essential. Designed for true broadband operation, the B55SS supports all airband channels without the need for tuning, making it ideal for both regional and major airport environments where multiple frequencies are in use. Its omnidirectional radiation pattern ensures uniform coverage for ground-to-air and ground-to-ground communications, supporting continuous operation across aviation, defence, and air traffic control networks. The monocone design is DC grounded, reducing static noise build-up and improving overall signal clarity while also providing an inherent level of lightning protection. For enhanced system protection and longevity, ZCG Scalar recommends the use of in-line coaxial surge protection within the installation. Built for long-term outdoor deployment, the stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental stress, making it suitable for exposed tower and mast installations. The antenna is supplied with stainless steel tag wires to stabilise the radial elements once installed, helping to minimise environmental impact from wind and wildlife interaction. Widely deployed across aviation infrastructure, including air services networks and high-reliability communication systems, the B55SS is a proven solution for mission-critical airband applications. Combining true broadband capability, low-noise performance, and robust stainless steel construction, the B55SS from ZCG Scalar is a dependable antenna for professional VHF airband communication systems requiring continuous, interference-free operation.
