DatasheetUHF SATCOM Antenna
225 to 400 MHz
SKU: 21-30-31
The 21-30-31 is a combined Hi-Lo angle UHF Satcom Antenna designed for installation on military helicopters & aircraft operating up to 350 knots. The 21-30-31 has the coaxial connectors mounted on the bottom of the antenna base which has an 8 hole mounting plate.
The antenna consists of two co-located elements; a circularly polarized cross-dipole and a linearly polarized broadband monopole. The two elements have separate RF feeds, and by manual selection of either, full hemispheric pattern coverage is provided. The Lo angle mode is intended for elevation angles up to about 45° and the Hi angle for approximately 45° to zenith.
Construction is from rugged fiberglass, foam-filled for structural integrity and prevention of moisture ingress and has aluminum alloy dipole elements and base mounting flange.
The antenna footprint compatible with, and a lightweight replacement for various types of “mushroom” and “batwing” designs.
