The HDB-155 antenna element is proprietary to Kathrein Inc. and the Government does not have any schematic drawings to provide. Although Kathrein Inc. is the sole manufacturer, there are several distributors of this antenna.

The antenna is used for high power NWS transmitters for proper signal propagation. NWS uses the unit in a 4-Bay configuration with a power divider. These transmitters operate in the 162.400 to 162.550 MHz frequency range. It is required that three of the antennas be delivered within 30 days or sooner after receipt of order with the remaining seven to be delivered within 60 days or sooner.
