Aircraft antenna AO556 Series

UHFbladeomnidirectional

The slotted blade or “bent stub” antenna provides both vertically and horizontally polarized components of radiated energy. This feature fills in the antenna pattern hole typically exhibited by the 1/4 wave stub antenna. The “bent stub” also provides a vertically polarized component when the aircraft is in a steep bank attitude. Scalable to other frequencies for nominal engineering fee. Add suffix letter “S” for stainless steel or “A” for aluminum configuration. GRDCUS Antenna PN AO556-915S, NSN 5985-01-540-3343.
