NDB (Non Directional Beacon) ND 200S/D

ND 200S/D
NAUTEL's ND 200 S 50 Watt NDB has been developed for use as a highly reliable, highly efficient transmitter. It may used either as an aeronautical or non-sequenced marine locator NDB. The 50 Watt output is fed via a 50 ohm coaxial feeder either directly to a suitable automatically tuned Polestar series antenna or via a separate Automatic Antenna Tuning Unit, Model NX 500 TUB, to the customer's existing antenna system.

NX 500TUB
NAUTEL Automatic Antenna Tuning Units eliminates the detuning problems inherent in high 'Q' LF/MF antennas encountered under varying climate conditions. A closed loop servo tuning system ensures that the antenna is maintained at series resonance and therefore provides a constant 50 ohm resistive load. This allows the transmitter to be installed at any distance from the antenna site.

* Lower limits :
i.e. minimum antenna capacity shown is for 190 KHz operation and defines peak voltage limit, lower antenna capacities can be accommodated at higher frequencies - consult factory for additional details.
