Four-Channel HF Receiving Antenna Array Simulator

Abstract

This document discusses the design, fabrication, and operation of an antenna array simulator, which is an integral part of the NRaD adaptive array evaluation facility. A brief introduction is provided to explain how adaptive receiving antenna arrays can improve Navy high-frequency communications, and how this developmental work is supported at NRaD. The main body of the text encompasses both the software algorithms created to support computerized remote control and antenna phase-tuning operation, as well as a detailed hardware description of the Simulator circuitry, which is suitable as a guide for maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
