Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of an L-Band Cylindrical Array.

Abstract

An L-band cylindrical array has been assembled for demonstration purposes. The array is 6 ft in diameter and contains 48 4-ft columns. It was fabricated using novel, low-cost and lightweight techniques. Measurements indicate that this array is usable at least from 1.0 to 1.4 GHz. Plans for implementing the scanning matrix and other design options are indicated. (Author)
