DESCRIPTION

The Model 895X Bent Stub Antenna was developed for airborne beacon transponder and transmitter applications. The most notable feature of the 895X is, its ability to provide coverage for selected planes and polarizations in the overhead region always left uncovered by ordinary stub antennas. This is accomplished without undue sacrifice of normal stub antenna coverage. The antenna is characterized by
its compactness and light weight, while still maintaining the electrical and environmental characteristics
required. The vehicle skin serves as the ground plane for the antenna. A minimum 2-inch diameter ground plane is required when the antenna is not mounted directly onto a metal surface. The antenna can be mounted to a surface 0.25” thick, a “D” hole is required, it is then secured by a lock washer and nut.
