Antenna and RF Distribution Systems Approaches to Meet AN/VCC-2 Communications Requirements on Amphibious Ships

Abstract

This is a report of a study of operational requirements for the AN/VCC-2 rf distribution system, a multichannel, FM duplex system (manufactured by Radio Engineering Products) operating in the vhf band. Information was obtained by surveys of VCC-2 installations on 22 ships representing four major amphibious classes, and one heavy cruiser; and by consultation with commands having knowledge of the system. Antenna arrangements and rf distribution systems on the ships are described. Seven possible antenna and rf distribution system approaches are discussed and illustrated. These approaches are theoretically evaluated for comparison, in terms of range and performance.
