Aircraft Response Effect on E-Field Measurements

Abstract

This report describes the effect of the aircraft response on the measurement of E-fields. In investigating this effect, the effective height data developed by the Boeing Corporation for a l-m blade antenna on a C-130 aircraft was utilized. Difficulties in using this data are discussed, and calculated phase functions to correspond to the amplitude data are presented. Calculated antenna open circuit voltages are then presented for different free field variations and polarizations.
