REVIEW ON THIS ITEM
FACTS ABOUT THE FuG 218 ANTENNA
The Neptune series were a family of night fighter radars manufactured by Siemens. Neptune V was an airborne interception set with direction finding capabilities operating on frequencies between 158-187 MHz. It had a search angle of 120 degrees and a range of between 5 km and 120 m (3 miles and 400 Ft). It used the Hirschgeweth (‘Stag Antler”) type aerials which were usually mounted in the nose of the aircraft. Neptune V/R incorporated a tail warning device.
Me-262B-1a/U1:
Operational demands had overtaken the trainer requirements, so after only 15 aircraft the Me 262B-1a was produced as a night fighter. In this version the rear cockpit was occupied by a radar operator. The radar itself, a FuG 218 Neptun V air interception radar was fitted in the nose with a four-pole Hirschgeweih (stag's antler) antenna array. Furthermore the FuG 350 Zc Naxos receiver was fitted, which could home in on the emissions of the H2S nav/attack radar used by the British bombers.
Only about a dozen were in service by 1945.
