Shipboard VHF/UHF Antenna Design and Utilization Criteria

Abstract

This report presents a technique which enables the antenna design engineer to establish his own design and location criteria and the associated trade-offs and to analyze existing circuits. Conclusions are drawn about shipboard antenna design and location for the ship-to-ship case (example: Ship antenna height has little effect on circuit performance at low vhf frequencies); the ship-to-air case (High ship antennas and the highest frequencies produce detection contours with large amounts of lobing and the shortest distances of satisfactory performance); and the general case (High time availabilities require large protection biases to achieve the desired performances). An appendix indicates the effect of a complex shipboard environment upon a sample receiving system.
