This capability is achieved by combining the radiating characteristics of both the planar spiral and helix into a single assembly, thereby more effectively utilizing the volume.
The axial ratio is extremely low over the majority of the radiation pattern. This performance characteristic, as well as a good radiating efficiency, makes the AS-48611 antenna very suitable as a broadband reflector feed or as a sector element in full azimuthal DF arrays. The AS-48611 is also useful down to 0.40 GHz, with reduced gain.
The AS-48611 is designed to meet the rigorous environments imposed by MIL-E-5400 and MIL-E-16400. It is a highly reliable maintenance-free antenna adaptable to a variety of platforms.
Features:
- Broad Frequency Coverage
- Small size
