The radiating element is encapsulated in an epoxy dielectric body by a transfer molding process. The antenna is impervious to moisture penetration by direct immersion or extended exposure to high humidity conditions. The rugged design includes an interlocked mounting base and radiating element molded into the dielectric body for a completely unified, integral and rugged assembly. The molding process is a high-production technique, substantially reducing antenna cost.
The AT-741 is provided with a BNC female test probe for preflight checkout. Although L3Harris manufactures all of the above AT-741 types, L3Harris strongly recommends customers replace all A/A, B/A with the B/B version when reordering. The B/B version of this antenna improves mechanical performance with side-load levels to 15 psi.
