The
VSWR of this antenna in a 50 ohm system may vary
from 2000:1 at low frequencies to approximately 1:1
near the antenna quarter wave frequency. The ship's
structure in the vicinity of the antenna will
influence both the impedance and radiation pattern. |

Description:
The AS-2807/SRC Antenna is a general purpose omnidirectional
35 foot whip. The whip consists of three tapering aluminum
sections supported by a fiberglass base insulator. A
fiberglass vibration damper is installed on the top of the
assembly. This antenna may be used for transmitting and/or
receiving in the VLF, LF, MF, and HF frequency ranges. It
can be installed in a vertical, tilted, or horizontal
position as in an aircraft carrier deck edge installation.
Installation: The antenna may be installed on
the ship's deck or structure by means of a 19 inch square
base plate drilled for twelve 9/16 inch bolt holes. The base
plate has a 11 - 3/16 inch square by 7 inches high adapter
piece that fits outside the antenna fiberglass insulator.
The antenna insulator is then bolted to the base adapter
piece.
Considerations: This antenna may be installed
on base tilting mounts where required for aircraft
operations. The antenna base may be mounted directly to the
tilting mount using the regular antenna base. |
