STUDY PROGRAM FOR HF, VHF, AND UHF ANTENNAS FOR 1-TO--%) PSI OVERPRESSURE RANGE.
Abstract
An investigation was made of various approaches toward providing receiving and transmitting hf, vhf, and uhf antennas capable of surviving 1 to 50 psi overpressure either while in place or while stowed, to be put in place after the blast. Early in the program the additional requirement was made that the antennas be as economical as possible, especially in the vhf and uhf ranges. Several antenna types were evolved that are suitable for meeting these requirements. In addition, aa evaluation of commercially available antennas has been made and is submitted. Necessarily, a study of the hardening possibilities of an antenna has necessitated a study of the material and structure of which the antenna is made and upon which it is placed. It is to be hoped that, through the use of this report, Civil Defense installations, after a study of their particular communication requirements, will be able to select the most suitable antenna to fulfill these requirements.
