How Do Aircraft Antennas Work?

Aircraft antennas work by becoming a signal source for a receiver input. First, a transmitter antenna will generate a radio wave. A voltage at your desired frequency is then applied to the antenna. The voltage across the antenna elements, and the current running through them, creates electric and magnetic waves. At the receiver, the electromagnetic wave passes over the antenna to induce a small voltage and receive the signal.

How Do I Clean My Airplane Antennas?

Many airplane antennas are subjected to corrosion because of their placement, which causes noticeable deterioration of the radio sensitivity and the ability to receive signals. Clean the base of your airplane antennas and the mating aircraft structure/skin with a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol, TT-I-735. Then, allow both surfaces to air dry.

Do Aircraft Antennas Need to Be Grounded to Work?

Yes. All aircraft antennas require some sort of ground plane to work. Some can use the aircraft skin (or metal on the aircraft) or a foil or aluminum sheet inside the aircraft, while others use a coil of wire built into the antenna base.
