Aero-H antenna, and is approved for use with Aero-H/H+, Swift64 and SwiftBroadband SATCOM Systems. 2) The Slimline HGA-6000 antenna is the same basic antenna with a different dust-cover shape. Throughout this manual, the two antennas can be considered to be the same other than when specifically detailed. -
Page 8: Equipment Description
3. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION 3.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 1) The purpose of the HGA-6000 Antenna System is to provide an L-band RF link between Inmarsat Aero-H/H+, Swift64 and SwiftBroadband SATCOM systems and an Inmarsat satellite. 2) The HGA-6000 High Gain Antenna is used together with the following subsystems interconnected as shown in Figure 1: a) HGA-6000 High Gain Antenna, Cobham Part Number 677-A0161. -
Page 9: Hga-6000 High Gain Antennas
Two interfaces are provided for controlling the antenna: An ARINC 429 Interface and a Coaxial Modem Interface: The HGA-6000 is capable of interfacing directly to the ARINC 429 interface of an SDU (as defined in ARINC 741 [1]). In this configuration the antenna will accept the commands normally intended for a Beam Steering Unit (BSU). -

If using a non-Cobham SDU, run the Antenna Systems Support software (see Appendix B). Installation angles are now entered. If using a Cobham SDU, then the install angles may be stored in the SDU. Refer to the Swift64 or SwiftBroadband SDU installation manuals. -
Page 20: Hga-6000 Installation Guidelines
The installation mounting plate or structure must provide a flat platform for the HGA-6000. The HGA-6000 is fixed to the mounting plate/structure by means of four ¼ inch 28UNF screws which screw into the base of the antenna from below. A locking wire thread insert in each of the four mounting holes will ensure that the screws remain secure. - Page 21 HGA-6000 High Gain Antenna Installation Manual 4.2.2.2 Data required during installation process Once the antenna is installed the installation angles of the antenna must be entered manually. It is recommended that these angles be measured before the antenna is mounted as it may be difficult to measure these angles once the antenna is in place.
