How can your aircraft
benefit from a tuneable
antenna?
Tuneable Blade antennas provide the best performance to size ratio,
and are readily available in different shapes, heights and frequencies to
satisfy different customers’ needs.
The below provides a comparison between three main tuneable blade
antenna types against a typical passive antenna, showing the extent to
which the antenna performance is linked to the antenna dimensions. It
clearly demonstrates that all three tuneables perform considerably better
than the comparative passive within the frequency bands 30 MHz and 88
MHz, despite the substantial shorter height of both the 12-190-530LP and
the 12-190-160.
Some of Chelton’s tuneable antennas also include an L-band element in
addition to VHF and UHF, essentially having the option of reducing the
number of antennas needed.

navigation function. Two
antennas are mounted on either
side of the fuselage. A typical
installation is shown on the tail of
the M-346.
The antennas are fed in one of two ways;

Cable harness (equal phase feed): Two opposite handed antennas are needed (e.g 19-85A and
19-85B or 27-3002 and 27-3003). Example part number: 37640
Coupler (two halves fed with opposite phase). Some combine diplexers to separate the LOC/
VOR and GS signals.
Couplers:
7-47: 180 degree splitter with diplexer
7-78: 180 degree splitter with diplexer and dual outputs
Diplexer:
7-351/1: LOC/GS Diplexer without splitter (cable harness needed)

The 21-48L is an airborne antenna system
intended for VOR/ILS and GS applications.
Each antenna system comprises two centrally
fed half loop (21- 48L-1()) antennas, that
when mounted on the aircraft must be fed in
antiphase for correct function.
Each half loop is formed from stainless steel 150 mm MAX

tubing with a fibreglass dielectric junction at
its mid-point. From the mid-point a co-axial
cable extends internally and exits through the
mounting flange. The half loops are connected
together via a T adaptor.

for SAR and C-SAR
Our Direction Finders include five Guard Receivers to monitor pre-defined distress
frequencies and an additional tuneable receiver, which can be used for frequencies from
30MHz to 470MHz (935 series) or 88MHz to 470MHz (938 series).
The receivers operate in parallel such that if the tuneable receiver is dedicated to a
custom Electronic Tracking System (ETS) frequency, the other receivers continue
to monitor the international SAR frequencies in parallel, as well as provide decoded
information in the case of Marine DSC and COSPAS/SARSAT.

Band Pass, Band Stop and Notch Filters
Chelton produce a range of filters for use in the Link 16 frequency band. These filters
allow signals to be passed between the specified frequency ranges or rejected outside the
specified frequency ranges.
The below shows the common filters required for the Link 16 frequency band. If you require

A vital consideration when installing any long rail

type of antenna on an airframe is the avoidance

of stress and strain to both the airframe and

the antenna, such as can be imposed during

What they can do for you. Narrower individual
