Bartone, Ph.D., P.E., (FRN 0025370479) wishes to operate a communications link between a fixed grounds station and a mobile airborne S-3 Aircraft in the southeastern Ohio area. The ground station will be located on the campus of Ohio University, Stocker Center, Athens, OH 45701, at a location: Lat: 39.3261, Long: -82.1068 (Lat: 39 19' 34.26", Long: -82 6' 24.60), Optometric Height: 213 meters (roof); transmission antennas will be located on the roof of the Stocker Center building at an Othrometric height of 213 meters. The radio is planned to transmit in the 902-928 MHz band using a Freewave Ethernet radio with a maximum output power amplifier of 25 Watts (44 dBm), via an omni-directional antenna (gain=6dBd, i.e., 8dBil) or a 14-element Yagi directional antenna (gain-14dBil). The output power is adjustable from 30 to 44 dBm in 1 dB steps. Antenna selection will be via a manual RF switch. Figure 1 below illustrates the ground radio station configuration.

Type 12-190-6/1 Low Profile Tuned Antenna 30 MHz - 400 MHz / 960 MHz - 1220 MHz 12-190-6#1-DS Issue 1 The most important thing we build is trust 314.96 mm MAX 45.21 mm MAX The 12-190-6/1 Low Profile Tuned Antenna is a high efficiency PIN diode tuned antenna operating over the frequency ranges 30 MHz to 400 MHz and 960 MHz to 1220 MHz, and intended for general 236.47 mm MAX airborne application. The antenna offers a guard facility whereby performance is maintained at 121.5 MHz and 243 MHz when switched to any frequency within specified operating bands. 60.32 mm REF The antenna is configured as an electrically short monopole in which, at 95.25 mm REF VHF and UHF frequencies, the capacitance between the top tube and 142.87 mm REF ground is tuned out by a series of binary related PIN diode switched 21.59 mm MAX inductors in accordance with encoded data from the transmitter. Radiation resistance compensation is provided by a capacitive transformer. 29.21 mm MAX Guard performance is provided by a separate radiating element, internally diplexed via a 243 MHz tuned circuit. The L-band antenna is configured as a co-phased couplet of folded monopoles. Transmission line techniques are incorporated to provide decoupling from the VHF and UHF circuitry 234.19 mm MAX The 12-190-6/1 comprises a pressure moulded grp shell housing the electronics assembly and enclosed by an aluminium alloy baseplate carrying the connectors. At the top of the shell is fitted a double tube arrangement in a coaxial configuration. The inner is connected to the radiating structure and the outer aluminium alloy sheath is connected to a diverter strip, thereby providing a lightning strike protection system. A polyurethane leading edge strip is fitted as standard. 71.12 mm MAX Chelton Ltd trading as Cobham Antenna Systems www.cobham.com/antennasystems
