About
The ANT-406VA is an antenna designed for use as part of Cospas-Sarsat aviation radiobeacons, working through space navigation systems (SNS). It is intended to be installed as part of an aircraft antenna system to support emergency locator beacon transmissions. The antenna covers three frequency ranges used by the Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellite system: 121.45-121.55 MHz, 242.9-243.1 MHz, and 406.0-406.1 MHz, with an output VSWR of 1.5 across the frequency range. Gain varies from 0 to -10 dB on the 121.45-121.55 and 242.9-243.1 MHz bands, and from -3 to +4 dB on the 406.0-406.1 MHz band. The unit has physical dimensions of 240×238.34×60 mm and weighs 0.7 kg according to technical specifications. It operates across a wide temperature range from -40 to +70°C. The product was first released in 2011, has a guaranteed service life of 3 years, and an estimated production/delivery time of 3 months. It has not undergone flight qualification, but can be adapted to customer requirements.
