AIRBORNE BROADBAND FLUSH-MOUNTED ANTENNAS

These flush-mounted airborne antennas employ "state-of-the-art" design techniques which result in optimum performance, commensurate with minimum size. Flush-mounted antennas are required in many applications where drag characteristics of blade antennas cannot be tolerated or where vehicle handling equipment or launching rails prohibit protrusions beyond the normal skin line. The antennas are designed to function singly or in arrays of two, three or more, using matched power dividers specifically designed to operate with multi-antenna installations.

Antennas can be configured to your vehicle diameter. Power Dividers are available to join the antenna elements into any array. Call for details.

AIRBORNE UHF/L BAND BLADE

This series of low profile antennas serve a critical need for use on small and medium sized vehicles where internal space is not available for flush cavity antennas. Their streamlined aerodynamic form factor yields a lightweight, low drag antenna which universally mounts to any vehicle structure, without modification.

Two types of antennas have been designed for each discrete operating band, depending on thermal environment. The antennas may be used singly, or in arrays of two or more, depending on pattern requirements. Matched power dividers and cables are available for interconnecting multi-antenna installations.
