  • Abstract
    An electromechanical calculator has been designed for the rapid solution of directional-antenna patterns. After the desired antenna parameters have been set up, the machine automatically draws the field-intensity curve to any desired scale on a sheet of polar co-ordinate paper and indicates the rms value for drawing a circle of the equivalent nondirectional pattern.
