Bob Archer Sportcraft Antennas

All Archer antenna designs for both metal and composite aircraft are meant for internal installation in either fiberglass wingtips or fairings of some type in conductive aircraft or inside the structures of composite aircraft. They are mainly constructed of Alclad .016" thick 2024 aluminum strips arranged in a manner that allows tuning the antennas to a level beyond that of most antennas available today.

SA-001 & SA-001-2

This wingtip VOR antenna is designed to fit inside larger fiberglass wing tips on metal (Conductive, that is) airplanes such as T-18's, RV's, Bonanza's, etc. The wing tips must have internal dimensions of at least 11" x 24" and generally fit better on the bottom surface. The VSWR is normally less than 2.0:1 over a freqency band of 108 to 127 MHz, but could be higher due to installation factors.

SA-003 & SA-003-2

Wing tip VOR antenna of same general design as the SA-001 but of a narrower design to fit Mooney tips with internal dimensions of 8" x 24". VSWR less than 2.0:1 over the frequency band of 108 to 118 MHz.

SA-005

This transponder/DME antenna is an etched copper clad epoxy circuit board dipole that is designed to be installed inside non-conductive aircraft without need for the additional installation of a ground plane. The dimensions are 6" x 7" and it can be installed in the aft fuselage or the wings with the 6" dimension vertical.

SA-006

This COM antenna is designed to be installed on the inside surface of the aft fuselage of composite and wood aircraft. It is a dipole that is folded to minimize the vertical dimension and requires 12" of fore and aft space and 26.5" vertically. It is designed for flexibility so it can match the internal curvature of the aft fuselage. Also works well in the vertical stabilizers of smaller aircraft. The VSWR is less than 2:1 across the COM frequency band.

SA-007

These antennas are essentially the same with the exception of the overall length and the matching devices with the COM antenna being installed vertically and the NAV antenna being installed horizontally. The outer ends of these antennas may be swept up to +/- 30 degrees to facilitate installation in various aircraft types. VSWR is less than 2:1 over their respective frequency bands.

SA-009

Marker Beacon Antenna. Consists of 40 inch copper tape (1/4 wavelength) and enough coax cable for most installations in fuselage area plus hardware. Works fine in fiberglass wingtips and fuselages, or wing to fuselage gap seals.
