Low Scan Angle Performance of Airborne Flush Mounted Communication Antennas

Abstract

The Duration of this contract was spent performing a literature se arch on current techniques for analysis and synthesis of conformal scanning antennas mounted on a cylinder. The main contribution is a reference list and the recommendation for combining asymptotic mutual coupling with gtd fuselage modeling for antenna pattern calculations. The important technique of beam shape modification at low scan angles through the use of modified surface impedance structures is also mentioned.
