Description: The AS-2814/SRC is a broadband unidirectional log periodic dipole array. The antenna consists of a main boom and eight radiating elements. It may be installed for operation with either vertically or horizontally polarized signals. The AS-2814/SRC may be used with any VHF transmitting and/or receiving equipment capable of operating within its frequency range and RF power handling capabilities.

Installation: The antenna is supplied with a mounting flange for installation onboard ship. This aluminum flange is 6 - 1/2 inches x 6 - 1/2 inches with twelve holes for 3/8 inch bolts equally spaced on a 5 - 1/2 inch x 5 - 1/2 inch square pattern. vinyl jacketed mylar rope is supplied for installation between the flexible radiating elements to reduce vibrations.

Considerations: The location of the antenna should be selected to provide maximum omnidirectional coverage within the physical constraints of the ship's structure. Two AS-2814/SRC antennas are used with the AS-2813/SRC Antenna Assembly. The antennas are installed on opposite sides of the ship to obtain maximum unidirectional coverage.
