A UHF/EHF Hybrid Antenna,

Abstract

This study describes the development and experimental demonstration of the RF feasibility of combining a UHF antenna with an EHF paraboloid. The combination is to provide dual frequency band operation for air-to-satellite communication links. A complete set of gain tables and radiation patterns are presented for a UHF crossed-dipole positioned in the aperture of two different EHF paraboloids. An analysis of the resultant blockage is described and theoretical radiation patterns are calculated and compared with the experimental results. Fuselage simulation experiments are also included.
