Description: The AS-1747/URN-20(V) is a unit of the OA-7203/URN-20(V) Series Antenna Groups. The antenna group consists of an antenna, antenna pedestal, radome, and control amplifiers. The antenna groups are shipboard antenna systems for use with tactical navigation (TACAN) installations. The antenna and pedestal are enclosed in a glass fiber reinforced plastic protective radome. The antenna central array, spin motor, rotating assembly, and bearing control servo assembly are mounted on a single base in the pedestal assembly. This base is maintained in a horizontal plane by a roll servo system.

Installation: The antenna assembly should be placed as high as possible on the ship's mast. It must be above all objects in its immediate vicinity. Objects within 15 feet or less should not be higher than the lower edge of the pedestal for optimum TACAN performance. The installing activity must supply a base plate on which to mount the pedestal. The "N" and "S" marks on the pedestal must be lined up parallel to the ship's centerline to an accuracy of 0.1 degree, with the "N" mark facing forward. The system requires an input from the ship's stable element to provide roll information for antenna stabilization.

Considerations: The cable lengths between the antenna and almplifier group must not exceed 200 feet.
