1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

A. General
The
external
three
frequency
antenna
is
used
conjunction with the emergency locator equipment.

in

It is a blade type with a radiating cavity. The three

frequency antenna is a compact unit.
Six 5,6 mm (0.22 in) diameter screws ground it.
The radiation element is fully DC grounded.
The
three
frequency
antenna
for
equipment has the items that follow :

emergency

locator

an aviation
casting,

a radiating element placed in a printed circuit that

supports the coaxial cavities,

a fibreglass laminated radome,

a leading edge side coated with anti-erosion treatment,

a close-cell polyurethane foam cavity-filling.

2. TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION
A. Functional check in the workshop
(1) Direct current
- Measure the resistance between ground of the RF
connector and ground plane, the value is < 20 m.
(2) RF current
- Put the antenna in the centre of a 1 m x 2 m (39.37
in. x 78.74 in.) reflector plane.
- Drill some holes that have the same dimensions and are
in the same position as the holes on the antenna.
- Safety the antenna.
- Put the assembly in a position where there is not much
radioelectric signal noise.
- Connect the antenna to a reflectometer with an
approximately 3 m (118.11 in.) coaxial cable. The
reflectometer must have a generator or an instrument
to measure the reflection and must operate in the 100
to 500 MHz range.
REFLECTOMETER

REFLECTOR PLANE

CONNECTING CABLE

- The reflector plane/antenna assembly is a large metal

instrument. Keep it away from the reflectometer
(minimum distance of 3 to 4 m (118.11 to 157.48 in.)
from all sides).
- Calibrate the reflectometer.
- The SWR must be less than 1.5.
