DM N4-17 series VOR/LOC/

Glide Slope Antennas
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.
The DM N4-17 is designed and qualified to provide a low-cost,
lightweight, low-drag antenna for state-of-the-art avionics systems.
The antenna is not only TSO'd, its performance parameters exceed

the environmental specifications of MIL-E-5400 Class 3 equipment.
Therefore, the DM N4-17 can be installed on single engine to jet
engine aircraft.
The balanced loop design of the DM N4-17 assures an omnidirectional

radiation pattern at the horizon to obtain the maximum signal for
standard VOR and area navigation, which in turn provides more
receiving distance and reliable system performance.

The standard system is the DM N4-17/N, which consists of two antenna
elements (DM N4-17-1/N), two feed cables and gaskets (DM U212-1
and DM U235-1 respectively), and a phasing coupler (DM N4-17-2).
Dual output couplers (DM N4-17-4) are available as well. Specifications

DM N9 Series Localizer/

VOR/Glide Slope Antennas
The DM N9 series antenna provides a dual band design for both
Localizer/VOR and Glide Slope systems for installation within nose
radomes on high performance aircraft.
The design incorporates common radiating elements into a single

monolithic structure for mounting either on a bulkhead within a radome
or to the radome directly. The antenna is designed with the radiating
elements attached to a single curved dielectric window to provide
support. In some cases, reinforcing ribs provide structural rigidity and
mounting adaptability to the bulkhead for mechanical attachment and
electrical grounding to the airframe.
The DM N9 series is a balanced bent-back dipole antenna which renders

it immune from the nose radar motion. In addition to excellent Localizer
and Glide Slope patterns, many users utilize the Localizer output for

forward-looking VOR as well.

DM N42-1 VOR/LOC Loop Antenna

The DM N42-1 is a tail-mounted antenna for use with VOR, localizer Specifications
and glide slope receivers. It has been specially designed to provide the
outstanding electrical performance of a balanced, center-fed loop at Electrical
minimum cost. The input balun transformer is permanently sealed inside Frequency Range 108 to 118 MHz
the center housing. Output cables extend from this transformer, through
329 to 335.3
each side bar, to the feed points at the bulge on each element. This
unusual configuration permits reliable, economical installation on aircraft VSWR < 5:1
that cruise at speeds up to 230 mph. When properly installed, the antenna Polarization Horizontal
receives the horizontally polarized VOR and localizer signals with uniform Impedance 50 OHMS
high sensitivity from all directions around the aircraft over the full VOR/ Radiation Pattern Omnidirectional VOR/LOC
localizer band. Because of the inherent characteristics of all balanced Forward pointing glide slope
loop-type antennas, vertically polarized, error-producing signals are
rejected. The antenna also has excellent forward reception over the Mechanical
glide slope band (329 to 335 MHz) and can be used for this function by
adding a DMH22-1 coupler to the system. DC Resistance Open circuited

DM N25 Series Glide Slope Antennas

The DM N25 series of glide slope antennas employ a grounded,

center-fed loop as the radiating element. The resulting radiation
patterns are symmetrical. The DM N25-2 is a dual connector version
which incorporates a hybrid. This circuitry effectively isolates the two
associated receiving systems providing protection against disablement
of both systems in the event of failure in one system. The radiation
pattern associated with each DM N25-2 antenna port is identical, so
that no coupler drop-out problem during automatic landing occurs.
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.

DM NI24 & DM NI29 Series

L-Band Blade Antennas
These L-Band blades utilize a new concept of antenna design and
manufacture which makes them ideal for commercial as well as military
application. The radiating element is encapsulated in an epoxy dielectric
body by a transfer molding process. This simple design has several
notable advantages:
• Moisture Proof—The antenna is impervious to moisture

penetration either by direct immersion or by extended exposure
to high-humidity conditions.
• Rugged Design—The interlocked mounting base and radiating
element, molded into the dielectric body, are a completely unified,
integral, and rugged assembly.
• Economy—The molding process is a high-production technique,
substantially reducing antenna cost.

Radiation Pattern & Gain
The radiation pattern is an adjusted omnidirectional pattern. It has
some directivity in the forward direction to improve the gain in the 1.75 0.980
(4.45) (2.489)
most needed forward direction for ASAS, BCAS, and TCAS. This
adjustment in pattern and in gain purposely improves the reception
and transmission characteristics while still meeting the following 1.34

ARINC characteristics:

• 709-1 (DME) (4.572)
3.600
• 718 (ATC Transponder) (9.144)
• 730 (ASAS)
By making the radiation pattern slightly eccentric rather than
perfectly omnidirectional, the forward gain approximates that of a
vertically polarized quarter wave stub. The rearward gain is within
2.5 dB below the forward gain.

DM PN19 Series Radio

Altimeter Antennas
The DM PN19-1-1 and DM PN19-2-1 utilize micro-strip technology to
provide an extremely low-profile antenna. This fully functional series
was developed to be a high-quality, low-cost, lightweight, and near
conformal antenna. The dielectric insert and radiating elements are
recessed into a complete four-sided metal housing. This exclusive
design feature protects the dielectric surface from the air stream for
increased erosion protection in addition to preventing water intrusion

DM NI7 Series L-Band

Flush Antennas
The DM NI7 series of L-Band annular slot antennas is the result of
20-years of continuous experience in the design and production of this
type of antenna.
Smaller Aperture—provides more signal at angles near the horizon;

regardless of aircraft attitude.
Moisture Proofing—ensures that DM NI7 antennas will not fail

because of the condensation which is inevitable with aircraft. Each
unit is sealed and plastic foam-filled. All materials have been carefully
selected and isolated to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Cabin Pressurization—is not jeopardized. The DM NI 7 antennas

will successfully withstand 25 psi when suitably gasketed. Their rugged
construction ensures that they will not be adversely affected by the most

severe vibrations encountered in flight.
