A Weather Hood for the AS-45A/APR-6 Antenna

Abstract

A new weather hood, constructed of laminated Pittsburgh plate-glass cloth and using Selectron 5003 as the bonding material, has been developed for the A-45A/APR-6 antenna. The new cover has the required mechanical features, and the materials have desirable electrical characteristics. For comparison, the report includes the electrical characteristics of the original antenna. When equipped with the proposed cover recommended to replace the present Plexiglas model, results indicate that the antenna is suitable as an omnidirectional receiving antenna over the frequency range of 2250 to 4600 Mc.
