    This document is an abbreviated maintenance manual for a three frequency antenna used in emergency locator transmitters. It provides technical specifications for the antenna including operating frequencies, power handling, and dimensions. It also describes functional testing procedures to check the standing wave ratio and resistance to ground. The manual includes illustrations of the antenna but no parts are replaceable, so repair can only be done by the manufacturer.

    1. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


    A. General
    The
    external
    three
    frequency
    antenna
    is
    used
    conjunction with the emergency locator equipment.

    in

    It is a blade type with a radiating cavity. The three


    frequency antenna is a compact unit.
    Six 5,6 mm (0.22 in) diameter screws ground it.
    The radiation element is fully DC grounded.
    The
    three
    frequency
    antenna
    for
    equipment has the items that follow :

    emergency

    locator

    an aviation
    casting,

    a radiating element placed in a printed circuit that


    supports the coaxial cavities,

    a fibreglass laminated radome,

    a leading edge side coated with anti-erosion treatment,

    a close-cell polyurethane foam cavity-filling.

    2. TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION
    A. Functional check in the workshop
    (1) Direct current
    - Measure the resistance between ground of the RF
    connector and ground plane, the value is < 20 m.
    (2) RF current
    - Put the antenna in the centre of a 1 m x 2 m (39.37
    in. x 78.74 in.) reflector plane.
    - Drill some holes that have the same dimensions and are
    in the same position as the holes on the antenna.
    - Safety the antenna.
    - Put the assembly in a position where there is not much
    radioelectric signal noise.
    - Connect the antenna to a reflectometer with an
    approximately 3 m (118.11 in.) coaxial cable. The
    reflectometer must have a generator or an instrument
    to measure the reflection and must operate in the 100
    to 500 MHz range.
    REFLECTOMETER

    REFLECTOR PLANE

    CONNECTING CABLE

    - The reflector plane/antenna assembly is a large metal


    instrument. Keep it away from the reflectometer
    (minimum distance of 3 to 4 m (118.11 to 157.48 in.)
    from all sides).
    - Calibrate the reflectometer.
    - The SWR must be less than 1.5.
