Antenna mounting springs by BlueBird Tech are specialized shock-absorbing components manufactured in Ukraine, designed to protect sensitive EW antenna elements under strong vibration and mechanical stress. They reduce the risk of antenna damage during vehicle movement, especially on rough terrain, forested areas, and other challenging routes, and help ensure stable operation of EW systems.
Functions of antenna mounting springs by BlueBird Tech
- Protection of sensitive antenna components from strong vibrations and mechanical stress.
- Reduction of the risk of antenna damage during vehicle movement.
- Ensuring stable and reliable antenna operation in harsh operating conditions.
- Compatibility with EW “Hrets” 3M, 4M, 5ML, 6M, as well as other EW systems equipped with an N-type antenna connector.
Operating principle
The springs are installed between the antenna and its mounting point, where they act as a shock-absorbing element. During vehicle movement over rough terrain, off-road areas, or forested paths, they compensate for part of the vibrations and mechanical loads that would otherwise be transferred directly to the antenna.
As a result, the risk of mechanical damage, deformation, or failure of sensitive antenna components is reduced. This helps maintain stable antenna performance and improves the effectiveness of EW systems in field conditions.
Operating recommendations
- Use antenna springs in systems operating in the 0–7 GHz frequency range.
- Check connector compatibility before connection. Connection type: RF N-male.
- Use springs on equipment operating under strong vibrations, shocks, and mechanical stress.
- Ensure correct installation before operation.
- Periodically inspect the condition of the spring and connections after intensive use.
