Description: The NT-66132 Antenna Assembly is a fixed stub type used with countermeasures receiving equipment. The assembly consists of a stub radiator and a fan-shaped ground plane. The stub is constructed of phenolic impregnated maple covered with a conducting material. The base contains an impedance matching section to match the antenna to the transmission line. Two antennas, one starboard and one port, are used per installation to furnish 360 degree azimuth coverage. The selection of individual antennas is accomplished by use of coaxial switches at the ECM operating position.

Installation: The bottom of the ground plane is fitted with a 1 - 1/2 inch IPS threaded coupling for use in mounting the antenna. The coupling is attached at a 450 degree angle to properly position the antenna to receive both horizontally and vertically polarized signals. The antenna should be mounted vertically and may be attached to yard arms, 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 19 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 sections as possible. They should not be installed in close proximity to transmitting antennas.
