VHF/UHF Whip Antenna

The 21-50-12 antenna is a high performance, conical whip antenna designed for helicopters and covering the frequency band 30-512 MHz.

The 21-50-12 antenna employs a full length vertical element primarily for use at VHF together with a parasitically excited sleeve monopole designed for operation over the UHF band. Decoupling techniques are incorporated to avoid unwanted interaction and preserve performance throughout all operating bands. A frequency dependent matching network is incorporated to ensure acceptable VSWR with minimum loss of gain throughout the frequency band. 

  • Covers all operating portions of 30-512 MHz JTRS frequency band
  • Efficient decoupling circuits maintain radiation pattern throughout frequency band
  • Rugged construction for helicopter applications subject to high vibration levels
  • No tuning required  55 inches overall height
  • Meets MIL-STD-810 environment
  • 50 Watts power handling
  • Excellent gain maintained by passive impedance matching throughout frequency band
