Evaluation of Airborne Telemetry Antennas for Use in UHF Telemetry Bands

Abstract

The report documents the results of a program conducted to evaluate experimental and commercially available UHF airborne antennas for use in the 1435-1535 and 2200-2300 MHz telemetry bands. The evaluation established that a wrap-around type antenna gives satisfactory performance and is adaptable for use in several different missile configurations. The design and operational characteristics of each antenna evaluated in a missile configuration are presented, together with typical antenna patterns and VSWR data obtained during the program.
