STUDY TO OBTAIN DESIGN DATA FOR REENTRY ECM ANTENNA SYSTEMS

Abstract

This is the first volume of the final report in a study of reentry effects on signal transmission from slender cone bodies at ICBM velocities. The report gives results of state of knowledge surveys of fluid mechanics methods and electromagnetic phenomena. Results of illustrative calculations are also given in many of these areas. Antenna breakdown is found to be the most important problem in reentry transmission effects, as well as the least well understood. Recommendations for needed research are given, including high gas temperature and convection experiments and theoretical analyses of temperature, convection, and flow field gradients effects. High altitude flow field development and studies of thermal nonequilibrium effects are recommended also.
