Evaluation of the AS-3018/WSC-1(V) Shipboard SATCOM Antenna

Abstract

The AS-3018/WSC-1(V) Satellite Communications Antenna is part of the antenna group OE-82B/WSC-1(V). This report describes measurements of gain and radiation patterns both in and out of the nominal operating frequency band. These results demonstrate that it meets manufacturer's specifications and provide information on the antenna's contribution to the shipboard SATCOM system's susceptibility to RFI.
