Description
Valcom's AS-2537C/SR 35-foot whip
antenna was designed and built to meet the U.S. Navy requirements for
shipboard antennas, specifically MIL-A-24319B(EC) and NAVELEX
0967-423-9010. It meets or exceeds these requirements in every
respect.
The mechanical strength is achieved with a patented
process using high strength filament fibreglass and epoxy resin.
The base section acts as an insulator as the feed-point is 12"
from the bottom. The base section is an integral part of the
antenna thus giving maximum strength. Electrical stability is
obtained by employing multiple beryllium copper conductors imbedded in
the epoxy fibreglass. A specially designed bronze ferrule is
used to join the two sections together.
This antenna is in operational use by the following
Navies: United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Greece,
Spain, South Korea. Over 3000 of these antennas have been
manufactured since 1969 and some of the original models are still in
service.
Typical Applications:
AN/URC-32,
AN/URC-36, AN/URT-23, AN/URT-24, AN/WRC-1, AN/WRT-1, AN/URA-22,
AN/URA-38, OE-5006/SRC.
