3.8 Antenna
3.8.1 Antenna Selection
• Recommended antennas: see section 3.11 Accessories
• Choose an antenna type compatible with the vehicle and the
mounting location.
• Specified features depend on proper installation of the antenna.
• The radiation pattern needs to be verified considering aircraft type
and mounting location.
• The electrical interference between the antenna and any other
equipment must be taken into account in such a way that no
reduction of the performance of any other system will occur.
• Install only certified antennas!
3.8.2 Installation Recommendation
• Take note of the antenna manufacturer’s instructions.
• The usually deployed Dipol- or Blade antennas necessarily require
a high frequency capable solid metal ground plane at the antenna
base.
• For installation in composite aircrafts, ground planes are to be
added. The ground plane should be as large as possible but in any
case not smaller than 10 cm x 10 cm. If in doubt, please contact
the aircraft manufacturer.
• Keep away three feet from any other antenna.
• Pursue mounting in vertical position under the belly in flight
direction.
