Modification of the AN/TRC-97A Antenna System.

Abstract

This report presents the results of an analysis of the AN/TRC-97A tactical troporadio antenna to determine what possible sidelobe reduction can be attained. Theoretical results are presented on the effect of feed and sub reflector blockage on the radiation patterns. In addition, radiation patterns are included on a modified feed support structure of the existing system which results in improved sidelobes in the azimuth plane. (Author)
