Description: The AS-1750A/SL is a broad beam fixed antenna used with electronics countermeasures equipment. Two antennas are used with each system, one for receiving and one for transmitting. The antenna consists of a base, conical horn, radome, and heater. A waveguide coupling and electrical connector are located at the rear of the antenna. Two AS-1750A/SL and one AS-1751A/SLA-12 antennas comprise the antenna portion of theAN/SLA-12A(U) Antenna Group.

Installation: The mounting flange has four 23/32 inch bolt holes on 9 inch vertical and 14 inch horizontal centers for use in mounting the antenna. The AS-1750A/SL antennas are mounted above and below the AS-1751A/SLA-12 trainable antenna, as far outboard as possible to obtain maximum unobstructed coverage. Generally, the three antennas are mounted on a common vertical structure. The area in the vicinity of the antennas should be clear of reflecting surfaces. In some instances microwave absorbent material has been installed on the mounting structure to reduce reflections.

Considerations: The antenna and its associated wave guide require pressurization, not to exceed 2 psig, from a source of dry air. The length of waveguide from the antenna to the transmitting and receiving equipment must not exceed 25 feet.
