An artificial transmission line constructed of ladder sections can be arranged to simulate the problem of plane-wave transmission and reflection by a plane dielectric sheet or multilayer. Any polarization and angle of incidence can be simulated. A 10-section model was constructed and tested. For convenience, an operating frequency of 100 kc was used to simulate 10-kmc radome problems. The analog measurements show satisfactory agreement with the exact solutions. (Author)
