Airborne Tracking Antenna Positioner
AL-1610-1E EL/AZ
Typical Application
Airborne Tracking Antenna System for air to ground data-link on a Gulfstream aircraft, in order to provide 360 coverage. The system
incorporates two antennas per aircraft, one of which is mounted in the tail-cone and the other in the forward belly radome. The antenna is a parabolic 10" dish with a vertically polarized feed for 10.7 to 11.7 GHz frequency range.
