The DME-960 is an omni-directional UHF antenna

designed for ground-to-air line-of-sight circuits used with distance measuring equipment (DME) systems. The 12 element array antenna is vertically polarized with an instantaneous bandwidth of 960-1215 MHz (no tuner) and has a 5000 watt peak power capacity at typical DME pulse duty cycle. The DME-960 has two coupling ports for signal monitoring. It is manufactured and operates in accordance with FAA-E-2996. The DME-960 is robust and designed for long-term, reliable operation. Also available with obstruction light as an option.
