The RAV225512 is a broadband airborne communications antenna designed for air speeds less than Mach 1. The antenna housing is a fiberglass epoxy design to withstand the exposure to sand and dust particles of desert areas. The antenna is foam filled to reduce the effects of extreme temperature changes, extreme humidity and excessive shock and vibration. It is mechanically and environmentally qualified to MIL-A-55680 (AT-1108) and has continuous operation altitudes of up to 50,000 feet and temperatures between -65º F and 131º F. It can also withstand the impact shock of 30g and the steady-state acceleration of 6g. This antenna has the same mounting pattern and footprint as the AT-1108/ARC for easy interchangeability if needed. A conductive mounting gasket is supplied with this product.
