889X: X-Band Conical Spiral Antenna

DESCRIPTION

The Model 889X Conical Spiral Antenna was originally developed for sub-sonic airborne applications where circularly polarized hemispherical coverage was required in minimum space. The radiating element is protected and supported by a foam-filled radome. This antenna is especially attractive for its small size, weight and rugged construction. Mounting of the antenna is accomplished via a “D” hole and then secured by means of a lock washer and nut. This antenna is available with right-hand circular polarization (standard) or with left-hand circular polarization (889X-1). Other frequencies can be obtained through minor alterations to this basic design.
