The VLF Aerial Tuning Unit (ATU) including coax cable is designed to provide a means of tuning a VLF loop aerial over a wide range (50 pF to 3500 pF) of capacitance. The ATU use a switchable bank of fixed value capacitors and a variable tuning capacitor.
When used in conjunction with the UKRAA VLF Aerial, it will form a ‘parallel tuned circuit’ to provide an input signal to the VLF Receiver in the frequency range 15-35 kHz, enabling the latter to receive VLF radio transmissions at suitable frequencies.
The ATU is a passive device and does not require a power supply.
