Coupling Between High-Frequency Sleeve Antennas for Task Fleet Flagship CLC-1

Abstract

Four of the broadband high-frequency transmitting antennas for Task Fleet Flagship CLC-1 will be located in a relatively small area on the aft portion of the main deck. The effect of this comparatively close spacing will alter the input impedance from that predicted on the basis of a single antenna. An experimental investigation using scale-model techniques was made to determine the magnitude of such effects. Coupling between the several antennas and the ship's super structure was shown to exist but the effect is sufficiently small to permit satisfactory operation over a three-to-one frequency band.
