Broadband VHF Airborne Blade Antenna
30 to 88 MHz
SKU: 21-20-10
The 21-20-10 is a vertically polarized, omni-directional antenna compatible with all popular airborne radios operating within the 30 MHz to 88 MHz frequency range. This antenna can handle 200 Watts of power and requires no external tuning. Use of a top loading element , centrally mounted on the blade, also enhances VHF performance beyond that of the standard AS-3191. Use of a surface deposited radiating element optimizes efficiency and the radiating element is DC grounded for lighting protection.
This wideband antenna developed by Cooper Antennas Ltd is particularly suited to tactical military communications. Rugged design ensures reliability in worldwide conditions of service on helicopters and aircraft operating at speeds up to Mach 0.85.
