Abstract
Diffraction techniques in conjunction with classical geometrical optics methods have been used to analyse the elevation plane patterns of antennas mounted on different locations of an aircraft. The frame of the aircraft has been modelled using wedged and curved surfaces. Computed results have been compared with scaled-model measurements and are in very good agreement. Antenna locations examined are typical for communication and landing systems on an airframe.
