AVIONICS

The DM N4-17 VOR/LOC/Glide slope antenna is designed for general aviation, commercial, and military aircraft that operate up to Mach 1.0. DM N4-17 is designed to provide a low-cost, lightweight, and low-drag antenna for state-of-the-art avionics. This antenna's performance parameters exceeds environmental specifications of MIL-5400 Class 3 equipment; therefore, it can be installed on single engine to jet engine aircraft. The balanced loop design of the DM N4-17/N assures an omnidirectional radiation pattern at the horizon to obtain maximum signal for VOR and area navigation which provides more receiving distance and reliable system performance.

The DM N4-7 VOR/LOC navigation antenna is a true center-fed balanced loop antenna with a high sensitivity and low bearing errors. The N4-7 system consists of two center-fed half-loops and a cable which enables a closed loop current flow allowing for improved signal to noise ratio and higher cross-polarized signal rejection. These rugged antennas have proven reliable service on aircraft such as Lockheed Jet-star, P-3A, and C-141 Starlifter, Bell UH1B helicopter, Sikorsky H34 helicopter, Convair 340, Aero Commander, North American Sabreliner, Douglas DC-3, Beech King Air and many other corporate and commercial aircraft.

The DM N25 Series of glide slope antennas employ a grounded, center-fed loop as the radiating element. The resulting radiation patterns are symmetrical. All DM N25 Series antennas provide complete lightning protection for the associated receivers. They are suitable for mounting either externally, or within a nose radome. The inherent 180° pattern beam may be modified slightly by the geometry surrounding the installation. The DM N25 antennas are recommended for installations in close proximity to radar dish installations since the antenna’s (glide slope) sensitivity is relatively unaffected by dish motion.
