Modelling UHF antenna coupling on aircraft.
modellinguhfante00koeh.pdf (3.419Mb)Abstract
Antenna coupling is of particular interest on aircraft
where the structure interacts with the antenna arrays.
These arrays may be extremely complex as new electronic
countermeasures and signal intelligence systems are added
to aircraft.
The thesis attempts to find a method to predict such
antenna interactions. Four general computer programs for
antenna design and radiation pattern determination are
investigated and deficiencies and strengths noted. These
programs primarily employ the moment method or geometrical
theory of diffraction. Some interesting correlations are
presented and recommendations on future potentially fruitful
approaches are discussed.
