Description
The AS-3772B/U 35
foot aluminum whip antenna is designed and built to meet the US Navy
requirements for shipboard antennas, specifically MIL-A-29517(EC).
It meets or exceeds these requirements in every respect. (NSN
5985-01-383-8451)
The antenna is used
for communications in the 2 to 30 MHz frequency range and can be
installed and operated in the vertical, tilted, or horizontal
positions.
The antenna consists
of a tapered aluminum radiating element and an integral fibreglass
insulator and base mounting flange. It is a two piece
antenna which has three side feed points. The integral
insulator and base mounting flange is bonded to the bottom of the
radiating element. A drip shield is provided just below the
lower feed point.
The mechanical
strength of the integral insulator and mounting flange is achieved
with a patented process using high strength filament fibreglass and
epoxy resin. |
