Description: Antenna AS-1174/SLR is an omnidirectional receiving antenna for use with electronic countermeasures receiving equipment. The antenna consists of a fiberglass cone with two spirally wound bands of aluminum tape. These bands wind around the cone from base to top and feed through the top of the cone to a coaxial cable. The antenna element is enclosed in a fiberglass radome. A triplexing filter, Type D74097, is supplied with the AS-1174/SLR to provide three outputs. The outputs correspond to particular bands within the frequency range of the antenna.

Installation: The base of the antenna has eight 10-32 size. holes equally spaced on a 12 inch diameter bolt circle for mounting the antenna to a pipe support. The triplexer has five 7/32 inch holes for mounting to a flat surface. The antenna should be mounted in as clear area as possible to give unobstructed omnidirectional coverage. The centerline of the antenna must be perpendicular to the normal trim water line of the ship.

Considerations: The site selected for mounting the triplexer should be near the antenna. The coaxial cable between the antenna and filter should be as short as possible to keep down high frequency losses. The triplexer should be protected from mechanical damage.
