DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAM FOR THE FABRICATION AND TESTING OF LIGHTWEIGHT WAVEGUIDE.
Abstract
This report covers studies performed to fabricate various models to establish sufficient design data for the fabrication of 96 in lightweight serpentine waveguide structures. A single convolution of a serpentine waveguide was simulated and tested. Testing revealed the presence of higher modes than the fundamental TE(g), mode; such transmission would have a deleterious effect on the array pattern. A new configuration in the form of uniform helical waveguide is presented as the possible answer in the electronically steerable arrays. A lightweight model of a serpentine section described by AGA drawing C612-026 and B612-003 was accomplished. (Author)
