Antenna Pattern Distortion Computer Program,

Abstract

The Antenna Pattern Distortion Computer Program is a user oriented code that allows the engineer designing a communication antenna farm to easily enter the antennas involved by simply calling their AF number (AT1181, AT1097, AT197, and a lightning rod LR1000) and specifying their location on an arbitrary reference plane. This reformer plane may be specified as a perfectly conducting infinite ground plane if desired. The program output may be any specified horizontal or vertical pattern. It can also calculate the mutual coupling between any two antennas. If the information provided by the AFCS SCREEN is available, the program can provide plots of the communication range of station when the antenna pattern, antenna power, terrain topography, and receiver sensitivity are specified for any specified aircraft altitude.
