The 21-40-12 is a C/D (L-Band) airborne blade antenna designed for high performance aircraft and covering MIDS as well as TACAN and IFF frequencies. It is a direct footprint replacement for AT256 UHF Blade antennas. Electrical design is based on a 2-dimensional, shunt-grounded discone which is of high efficiency and provides nearly omnidirectional azimuthal radiation.

Mechanical design uses an advanced, glass-loaded thermoplastic radome with an integral radiating element, all foamed-in-place for structural and environmental integrity.

The blade has an aluminum alloy base with a centrally mounted, TNC-type female coaxial connector.

Covers LINK 16, IFF, TACAN, JTIDS & MIDS
