Extended Range L-Band (C/D-Band) Conformal Antenna
960 - 2000 MHz
SKU: 21-40-41
The 21-40-41 is a conformal annular slot providing extended L-band coverage to cover IFF/TACAN/MIDS and data link frequencies up to 2 GHz. It is designed as a drop on replacement for current TACAN/IFF antennas fitted to certain aircraft.
The antenna is produced as a machined aluminum alloy ‘dish’ with a high temperature glass epoxy radome covering the annular slot. The antenna is fully sealed and all internal cavities are filled with closed cell foam to prevent long term moisture ingress
- Drop-on replacement for current TACAN/IFF antennas
- Zero drag, fully conformal design
- Suitable for Mach 2.5+
- Exceptional gain and patterns throughout frequency band
- High power 2kW Peak, 200 CW
- Designed to MIL-STD-810 environmentall
- Fully sealed design
