Multi-function UHF LOS/Satcom L-Band and GPS Antenna
225-450 MHz 240-400 MHz 960-220 MHz 1564-1587/1216-39MHz
SKU: 21-50-73
The 21-50-73 is a rugged multifunction UHF LOS, UHF Satcom, L-Band and GPS antenna designed for airborne applications. A high strength aerodynamic vertical shell houses a 225 to 450 MHz linear element that can be used for UHF line of sight “LOS” communications or UHF Satcom at low angles of elevation. This vertical shell also supports a “Bat-Wing” shape horizontal element containing a pair of cross dipoles, connected to provide high angle, right hand circularly polarized UHF Satcom coverage and an L1/L2 active GPS antenna.
A high power grounded L-Band element is integrated into the antenna base. The antenna is completely sealed and filled with closed cell foam for long term environmental protection and reliability.
