Performance Study of an Experimental Iron Core Loop

Abstract

The anti-precipitation static iron-core loop (Experimental No. EX-20916-HU-Serial 3) and its associated adapter unit manufactured by Stewart Warner is designed for airborne radio direction-finding at low and medium frequencies (190 kc/s to 1500 kc/s) when used in conjunction with existing aircraft communications receivers. An investigation and analysis was made of the mechanical and electrical performance and constructional features. The over-all performance of the subject equipment is shown to be unsatisfactory in its present state of design.
