Description:
The AS-4014/U is a 35 foot whip antenna designed for general
purpose use with military communications equipment. It is
particularly suitable for prolonged installation in
shipboard marine environments and can be operated in a
vertical, tilted or horizontal position in such locations as
the deck edges of an aircraft carrier.
The antenna consists of
an aluminum radiating element, a fiberglass base insulator
and a base mounting flange. The radiator is fabricated in
three sections, square in cross section, which taper from 11
inches at the base to 1 inch at the top. The base insulator
consists of four 1/4 inch thick epoxy fiberglass panels
attached to the bottom of the radiator and reinforced by
angle sections along each corner.
The base mounting flange
is used to bolt the antenna to a foundation surface. A
flange of either steel or aluminum can be provided to suit
the installation requirements.
Containers enclosing
measured amounts of CRES shot are attached within the
radiating sections and atop the antenna. These effectively
damp the natural vibrations of the structure at frequencies
encountered aboard Navy vessels.
Antenna AS-4014/U can be
used singly for general receiving or transmitting
applications. It is also used as a basic component in
assembling twinwhip Antenna Group OE-214/U for broadband
4-12 MHz purposes. |
