Blast Tests of a Mobile Satellite Tracking Antenna and of Two Model Antennas.

Abstract

A mobile satellite tracking antenna was subjected to blast waves emerging from the open end of an eight foot diameter shock tube. Response data were obtained by the use of strain gages and an accelerometer. Two similarly instrumented simple model antennas were also tested within the shock tube. (Author)
