Wide Band VHF/UHF Blade Antenna
30 to 520 & 760 to 960 MHz
SKU: 21-50-165
The 21-50-165 is a high performance wide band VHF/UHF airborne blade antenna suitable for aircraft operating in excess of Mach 2.
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 airframe via 8 fixing holes.
Internal radiating elements are shaped in such a way as to optimize elevation patterns throughout the wide frequency band and proprietary matching techniques maintain a VSWR below 2.7:1.
The antenna assembly is completely sealed and filled with closed cell foam for reliable operation in world-wide conditions of service.
- Suitable for aircraft operating at Mach 2+
- High Strength Composite Blade with Integrated Aluminum Mounting plate
- Low Side Area, Low Drag
- Covers all VHF/UHF and P25 Frequency Bands
- Single RF Connector can be externally diplexed
- Environmental Performance to MIL-STD-810
