SATCOM

DM C175 SERIES DUAL MODE BATWING UHF ANTENNA

The DM C175 Dual Mode Batwing antenna represents the latest in airborne UHF Satcom antenna technology. Extremely lightweight and Mach 0.88 capable, the antenna provides for operation over the complete hemisphere with two separate antennas housed in one MIL-E-5400 qualified structure. A low angle provides coverage from 0 degrees to +40 degrees above the horizon. A separate crossed provides circularly polarized high angle coverage in the +40 degree to 90 degree (zenith) elevation sector. The high angle mode’s hybrid coupler and 50 ohm load termination are housed internally to the unit thereby greatly simplifying installation and reducing customer supplied system accessories to a coaxial switch and interconnecting cables. Ideally suited for rotary or fixed wing aircraft due to its lightweight, low drag profile, and ease of installation; the DM C175 is also suitable for shelter or shipboard applications. Several versions are available, including the most recent version, the DM C175-5, which features a strengthened housing for high vibration environments.
