Deep Null Antennas and Their Applications to Tactical VHF Radio Communications

Abstract

This study examines antennas with a characteristic cardioid radiation pattern, their applications to VHF radio communications and their design, construction and performance. Structures are investigated using both the Mini Numerical Electromagnetics Code (MININEC) and the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC). A test structure is built, test data obtained, and a comparison of test results versus predicted results is made. Theses. (RH)
