The quadrature feed network, beyond offering excellent circular polarization and minimum axial ratio, provides low phase ripple, excellent pattern symmetry and a stable phase center.
The C146-13, offered with two mounting patterns, features a radome manufactured from DuPont Tefzel, a Teflon-based product that has been proven resistant to rain-erosion and acoustic-noise damage. In addition, an aluminum bezel is incorporated into the flange to provide a secure mounting point and prevent moisture intrusion. The C146-13 has been flight proven on aircraft such as the F-14, F-18 and A-10.
