X-Band Antenna for AN/APQ-33(XB) Jam System

Abstract

The report describes the development of an X-band antenna for use with the AN/APQ-33(XB) Automatic Search and Jam System (see reference 1) The antenna structure is designed to present zero drag for use on high speed airplanes. It radiates a circularly polarized wave having a pattern that will jam ground radars in all directions. The standing wave ratio is less than 1.27 over the frequency range of 8450 to 9350 megacycles. A general design procedure is described for antennas of this type.
