Description: The AS-1341/ULQ-5AX is a broad beam fixed antenna used with the AN/ULQ-5AX Countermeasures Set. Two antennas are supplied with each system, one for receiving and one for transmitting. The antenna consists of a horn-type radiator and reflectors designed to limit the vertical component of the radiated signal. The waveguide flange coupling is located on the rear of the assembly. An isolation shelf to limit interaction between the transmit and receive antennas is also supplied.

Installation: Each antenna has two circular clamps attached to the rear frame. The clamps are designed for a three inch diameter support pipe. In an integrated ECM system antenna installation the AS-1341/ULQ-5AX antennas are usually mounted above and below the fixed antenna of the higher frequency ECM system. The lower antenna is used as the transmitting antenna. The isolation shield is installed immediately above the transmitting antenna. A transition piece is required to adapt the antenna waveguide flange to coaxial cable transmission line.

Considerations: If the antennas are to be installed independently they should be installed as far outboard as possible to obtain maximum unobstructed coverage. The distance between the horizontal centerlines of the antennas should not be less than 120 inches. The area in the immediate vicinity of the antennas should be clear of reflecting surfaces.
