Detailed Description
The AS-3773B/U
18 foot aluminum whip transmitting/receiving antenna is designed and
built to meet the US Navy requirements for shipboard antennas. The
antenna Meets MIL-S-901 Grade A for shock; MIL-STD-167 for
vibration.
The antenna is used
with general HF communications equipment. The antenna provides
vertically polarized, omni-directional azimuth radiation from 10 to
30 MHz when the antenna is operated in a twin whip and tuner
configuration for broadband applications. It can be used singularly
for general receiving or transmitting applications.
The antenna
consists of a tapered aluminum radiating element and an integral
fibreglass insulator and base mounting flange. It is a single 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. |
