DMN56-1 VOR Antenna, C Male, 14-1/2 in W x 8.38 in H, 108 to 118 MHz, 50 Ohm, 8 dB, 6:1

Overview

The N56-1 is an airborne, air transport, navigation antenna. The N56-1 antenna, designed for Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft, provides a concept that can be incorporated in many aircraft designs to provide integral very high frequency navigation systems performance. The N56-1 free-standing, balanced-loop array is mounted on the top of a vertical stabilizer and covered with a structural fiberglass housing forming the fin tip. This approach provides a light-weight antenna system using available space for maximum efficiency. The electrical design provides two receiver operations with performance assured for category III conditions. The omnidirectional radiation patterns in the horizontal plane also assure signal levels are more than required for area navigation systems use.
