ANTENNA - AT-601(XE-3)/TRN
Abstract
The development and final design efforts are discussed of a prototype model of the AT-601 (XE-3)/TRN antenna for the radio beacon system AN/TRN-9. Detailed consideration is given to: (1) the electrical design of the radiation and feed circuits for the antenna cone and fan arrays, (2) matching technique for obtaining 1.2 VSWR, (3) evaluation of the necessity of a ground plane and the final choice of ground plane material, (4) mechanical redesign to obtain a rugged, portable, and easily assembled unit, ( ) the choice of the radiation element material and the means for radiation element quick disconnect, (6) radiation pattern measurements, (7) flight test measurement on the antenna, and (8) environmental testing.
