| Description: | The
AS-4163/URC dual channel, UHF antenna is a rugged, self-supporting,
vertically polarized, broadband antenna covering the frequency range
of 225 MHz to 400 MHz. This light weight antenna can be used
in either the transmit mode or the receive mode. The antenna is designed for use under the severe environmental conditions encountered in a shipboard environment. The two independent radiating elements are housed in a single fibreglass radome with an integral fibreglass mounting base. A feed-through cable running from the base to the top aluminum flange allows for the mounting of another antenna, such as the AS-390/SRC, atop the AS-4163/URC. The two antenna channels are high power, balanced dipoles, each dipole is capable of handling power levels of up to 1 KW average. The isolation between the two channels is greater than 25 dB. Each channel exhibits a nominal input impedance of 50 ohms and a VSWR of 3.0:1 maximum and 2.5:1 average over the entire frequency range of 225 MHz to 400 MHz. The antenna has been designed to meet the vibration requirements of MIL-STD-167, TYPE I and II, the shock requirements of MIL-S-901 and the environmental requirements of MIL-E-16400H. |
| Notes: | 1. do not use lead base pain to touch-up or repaint antenna |
