DUAL BAND AIRBORNE ANTENNA STUDY

摘要

The design and fabrication of two antenna systems is described and experimental results are presented. Each includes two antennas, one of which operates in the C band and the other operates at Ku band. Both antennas in the first system are vertically polarized while those in the second system are horizontally polarized. The antenna systems are designed for airborne use and they are interchangeable with respect to the physical mounting arrangements. Extensive data is given on pattern characteristics, on interband isolation, on gain and on the input VSWR.
