Supersonic Broadband Airborne Blade Antenna

The 21-50-20-1 is a vertically polarized, omni-directional antenna, suitable for subsonic and supersonic aircraft, compatible with all popular airborne radios operating within the 30 to 400 MHZ frequency range. The 21-50-20-1 antenna can handle 50 Watts of power and requires no external tuning.

The 21-50-20-1 is a wideband, multi-function antenna developed by Cooper Antennas Ltd and is particularly suited to tactical military communications. Rugged design ensures reliability in world wide conditions of service on aircraft operating at speeds of up to Mach 2.5+.

Use of a surface deposited radiating element optimizes efficiency. The element is DC grounded for lightning protection. Physical construction is from high temperature glass epoxy pre-preg with internal elements foamed in place with closed cell structural foam. 

  • High Strength Broadband Blade Antenna
  • Passive Frequency Selective Matching Network
  • Fully Foamed to Provide High Environmental Integrity at Supersonic Speeds
  • Requires no external tuning
  • Footprint Equivalent to AS-3191/A & AS-3793/A
  • Suitable for AN/ARC-182, AN/ARC-186 and Similar Multi-Mode Radios
  • Designed to meet MIL-STD-810 Environmental Requirements
