FIELD INTENSITY EFFICIENCY OF VEHICULAR ANTENNA AT-912(XE-2)/VRC

Abstract

Field intensity measurements of Antenna AT-912(XE-2)/VRC, also known as 'Improved Center-Fed Whip', are compared to measurements of a half-wave, sleeve type, vertical dipole cut to the test frequency. Each antenna, in turn, was mounted on a 3/4-ton weapons carrier vehicle. As pattern circularity was confirmed by other tests, only head-on readings were taken. The Center-Fed Whip Antenna was found to have at least the same gain as the 'unity-gain antennas' throughout the operating range of 30 to 76 mc.
