Description: Antenna AS-1175/SLR is an omnidirectional receiving antenna for use with electronic countermeasures receiving equipment. The receiving element of the antenna consists of a brass discone supported by a solid jacketed coaxial feed cable. The feed cable terminates as a coupling probe in the antenna waveguide. One end of the waveguide terminates in a short circuit, and the other end terminates in the waveguide flange. This flange connects to a waveguide which feeds signals to the receiver. The antenna element is enclosed in a fiberglass radome.

Installation: The antenna base plate has three 7/32 inch bolt holes equally spaced 90 degrees apart on 1 inch centers for securing the antenna to its mounting. The antenna may be mounted to a pipe or flat support using aluminum spacers. The antenna should be mounted in as clear an area as possible to give unobstructed omnidirectional coverage. The centerline of the antenna must be perpendicular to the normal trim waterline of the ship.

Considerations: The AS-1175/SLR is physically small and should be located in areas that will offer protection from physical damage. The antenna should not be located closer than two feet from metallic objects or within the strong fields of transmitting antennas.
