DUAL PATTERN ANTENNA, APPLICATION TO IFF INTERROGATION SIDE LOBE SUPPRESSION

Abstract

Efforts were directed to acquaint interested personnel with a non- conventional IFF antenna system developed for use with the AN/CPN-4/GPX-8A ATC Radar-IFF System. A flight test program was conducted at RADC's Verona Test Site at Verona, N. Y. for the purpose of testing the capabilities of this antenna to function properly in an IFF Side-Lobe Suppression System. The data presented is, for the most part, in the form of composite pictures of returns from an aircraft flying various radial paths across the Verona Test Site, and free space antatterns taken at the Newport Antenna Test Range, Newport, N. Y. Results show that the antenna has the desired capability.
