This simple design has several notable advantages.
MOISTURE PROOF. The antenna is impervious to moisture penetration either by direct immersion or by extended exposure to high-humidity conditions.
RUGGED DESIGN. The interlocked mounting base and radiating element, molded into the dielectric body, are a completely unified, integral, and rugged assembly.
ECONOMY. The molding process is a high-production technique, substantially reducing antenna cost.
The antennas have been used with various equipment such as DME, IFF, TACAN, TELEMETRY, and BEACON. The NI29-15, NI29-19, and NI29-18, have been designed to provide ideal performance for various Flight-Fone Systems. Extremely broad frequency bands are provided, within the overall 500 – 2000 MHz range. Some models are provided with a BNC female test probe for preflight checkout.
