AO555 Series:  These antennas are ideal for  flight lopro.jpg (77535 bytes)termination systems and telemetry applications when it is desirable to obtain as omnidirectional a radiation pattern as possible, with no nulls in the pattern aft of the missile.  The frequency is factory tunable.  These antennas can meet extremely high temperature requirements.  Their streamline shape yields very low drag.  The antennas may be used in arrays, usually two, mounted diametrically opposite with one always fed 180° out of phase with respect to the other when the ratio of wavelength to missile diameter is greater than one.

AO556 Series: In ao556.jpg (78579 bytes)contrast to our AO555 series, these antenna are taller and their frequency is fixed but they have more gain and bandwidth.  The slotted blade or "bent stub" antenna provides both vertically and horizontally polarized components of radiated energy.  This feature fills in the antenna hole pattern typically exhibited by the ¼ wave stub antenna.  The bent stub also provides a vertically polarized component when the aircraft is in a steep bank attitude.
