V-Link

Beam Forming Airborne Antenna Systems

The V-Link Series of beam forming auto-tracking antenna systems are specifically designed for airborne applications where a low-profile array is required. It provides superior directional performance when used in conjunction with other components of the Vislink Airborne Video Downlink System.

The V-Link Series was developed to deliver industry-leading reliability and features co-centered vertical polarized beams, steered together to point in one of 8-16 azimuth directions. Designed for the rigors and vibration of airborne use, the antenna contains no moving parts, unlike older kinetic designs that rely on pulleys, belts, and other components that are subject to expensive wear from general use, friction and vibration.

The V-Link Series is extremely effective, as it is comprised of multi-tier antenna panels symmetrically arranged to create maximum coverage, even during aircraft banking. This specific arrangement and design make the antenna optimally compact and ensures rapid handoff and seamless changeover as the beam progresses around the array. With simplified control and user interface, beam energy is automatically directed toward desired entered target sites as the aircraft moves or when a change in signal direction is commanded. To achieve maximum interoperability with leading mission systems, Vlink8A-875 has been integrated to operate with Churchill and AeroComputers control.
