FLUSH-MOUNTED ANTENNAS RADIATING ON AIRCRAFT TYPE SURFACES

摘要

The roll plane radiation patterns of on-aircraft antennas are analyzed using high frequency solutions. This is a basic study of aircraft-antenna pattern performance in which the aircraft is modelled in its most basic form. The fuselage is assumed to be a perfectly conducting elliptic cylinder with the antennas mounted near the top or bottom The wings are presently simulated by arbitrarily many sided flat plates. However, a recently developed bent plate solution will be incorporated in our aircraft model during the new period. This geometry will be used to simulate moving flaps, etc. The patterns in each case are verified by measured results taken on simple models as well as scale models of actual aircraft.
