The NI70 is an airborne, air-transport, regional, DME, ATC, DC open circuit, navigation antenna.
The NI70 L-Band antennas offer more than sufficient bandwidth (950 to 1,220 MHz) for use with civil aviation ATC transponders and distance measuring equipment (DME).
The antenna provides omnidirectional, vertically polarized coverage when installed on the top, or bottom, of an aircraft. Its streamlined shape assures minimum aerodynamic drag. Structurally, the antenna consists of a single metal element.
