Fast Tune VHF/UHF Antenna

The 21-140-200 is the latest in a series of high gain, digitally tuned VHF/UHF antennas providing outstanding VHF and UHF performance in a 14.7 inch tall structure. This antenna has the additional benefit of having the same footprint size and fixings as AS3191. Latest p-i-n diode tuning technology for VHF band combined with a passive susceptance corrected element for the UHF band provides capability for use with both multiband VHF/UHF radios and when used with external diplexer type 21-80-25, UHF EPLRS radios working in the 420 - 450 MHz frequency range. A separate, lightweight logic converter unit (LCU) accepts data from the VHF/UHF radio, and using latest FPGA technology, provides tuning codes for the antenna. Tuning time, which is 100% radio silent, is typically 60µ second. 

  • Radio silent tuning within typically 60µS
  • 14.7 inches height gives exceptional SINCGARS Gain
  • Latest FPGA logic converter unit technology
  • Can accept both VHF/UHF and EPLRS radio inputs (via diplexer)
  • Rugged design has no forward facing projections for ground handling and in-flight safety
  • Designed for helicopters and subsonic fixed wing aircraft to MIL-STD-810 environmental conditions
  • EMI/EMC design to MIL-STD-461
  • -54° to +75°C operating (Antenna) -40° to +75° operating (LCU)
  • Footprint compatible with AS3191
