Description: The NT-66131 Antenna Assembly is a fixed cone type used with countermeasures receiving equipment. The assembly consists of the antenna element and a ground plane made up of seven rods attached to a metal plate. The antenna is enclosed in a fiberglass radome. The base contains an impedance matching section to match the antenna to the transmission line. Two antennas, one port and one starboard, are used per installation to furnish 360 degree azimuth coverage. The selection of individual antennas is accomplished by the use of coaxial switches at the ECM operating position.

Installation: The bottom of the ground plane has a 1 - 1/2 inch IPS threaded coupling for use in mounting the antenna. The coupling is attached at a 45 degree angle to properly position the antenna for the reception of both horizontally and vertically polarized signals. The antenna may be mounted on yardarms, masts, or platforms by means of a 1 - 1/2 inch pipe welded to the ship's structure. The length of the mounting pipe should not be less than 22 inches. The center ground rod of each antenna should be pointed 45 degrees from the ship's bow.

Considerations: The antenna assemblies should be located so as to provide as great an unobstructed view of their sectors as possible. They should not be installed in close proximity to transmitting antennas.
