MODEL 107 (UPSLOPE)
END-FIRE GLIDE SLOPE ANTENNA SYSTEMS
For The Toughest Site Of Them All!
HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD THE “SAME OLD STORY”?
Have you been told that you cannot get ILS service at your airport because the site is too difficult? Throw that old report away! We don’t believe it & neither should you. Click the Airport Improvement Magazine link button below, read the article regarding one of our installed End-Fire Antennas & you will see why!
End-Fire Antennas Can Offer Numerous Benefits Over Conventional Image Systems:
- Significant Cost Savings by Avoiding Expensive Ground Plane Conditioning.
- Provide ILS Service where Previously not Possible or Cost Effective due to Terrain.
- Proven Frangible Low-Profile Design Permitting “Next to Runway” Installation.
- Save the Wetlands or Avoid High Wetland Relocation Costs.
- Waterside Installations Since the Signal is not Degraded by Tidal Variations.
- Precision Glide Path Guidance is Achieved with Narrow Lateral Radiation
- Patterns that Reduce Multi-path Signals from Buildings or Mountainous Terrain.

The End-Fire Critical Area Size Is Substantially Smaller & Can Mean More Operations Per Hour!
MODEL 107 (UPSLOPE)
END-FIRE GLIDE SLOPE ANTENNA
CATEGORY I INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM
(Middle Antenna Shown)
A PROVEN FRANGIBLE SUPPORT STRUCTURE
For Category I ILS at the Most Difficult Sites
The Model 107 “Upslope” End-Fire has performance improvements over
conventional capture-effect (M-Array) image type systems. Sideband-only
(SBO) signal cancellation is maintained to higher elevation angles to reduce
multi-path at severe upslope sites.
THE EF-9 INTERFACE UNIT PROVIDES POWER DISTRIBUTION AND
MONITORING FOR THE ANTENNA SYSTEM.
(Dehydrator Unit (Bottom) and Air Pressure Line Monitor also Shown.
Designed to be Easily Adapted to any Transmitter and Monitor Electronics)
