VHF MULTIPLE-SLOT FIN-TYPE AND MICROWAVE DIELECTRIC ROD ANTENNA ASSEMBLY

摘要

The Naval Ordnance Laboratory Corona has developed a fin-type multiple-antenna structure for mounting on a supersonic rocket sled. It provides four slot antennas for simultaneous signal transmission on four telemeter channels without mutual interference and a dielectric rod X-band antenna for receipt of command signals. The antenna assembly has given satisfactory performance under severe rocket-sled service conditions in the transmitting range of 215 to 235 Mc. It is believed that the design can be adapted to fulfill other special antenna requirements.
