UHF Blade Phase Matched Antenna

The 21-30-18PM is a high performance UHF airborne blade antenna suitable for use on fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Construction is from a one piece fiberglass blade molding intimately bonded into an aluminum alloy base block which houses the matching circuits and provides for very solid attachment to the airframe via 6 fixing holes drilled to the same pattern as the AT-256 UHF antenna.

The metal base block also enables the 21-30-18PM to meet the lightning protection requirements of AS-3191/A.

Internal radiating element are shaped in such a way as to produce minimum VSWR and also to optimize radiation. The antenna assembly is sealed by closed cell foam and finished in lusterless black or grey urethane paint.
