Near Field Analysis of Airborne Antennas,

Abstract

The radiation pattern analysis of the prolate spheroid based on the efficient UTD and geodesic solutions developed at least partially under previous NASC contracts has been combined with the flat plate scattering analysis in order to simulate complex airborne structures. This includes the junction edge scattering which results at the union between the fuselage (prolate spheroid) and flat plate. This solution is being verified by comparisons with various airborne antenna configurations. In addition, the geodesics for an ellipsoid have been found using a perturbation theory similar to that used for the prolate spheroid. This new ellipsoid configuration will be used to represent the fuselage in future simulation analyses. (Author)
