Shipboard Antenna Concepts: Structurally Independent 2- to 6-MHz Transmit Antenna Design.

Abstract

This report presents the results of an investigation of various techniques to design a 2- to 6-MHz transmit antenna having reduced dependence on the ship mast and superstructure. Such an antenna is needed as a replacement for the existing fan antenna for future ships constructed extensively of composite materials. Additional benefits of such an antenna are improved survivability and less obstruction of other ship systems than currently used designs.
