Abstract :
This paper describes the analysis, design and test of a broadband TEM horn array for airborne foliage penetrating (FOPEN) radar. Measured results are shown for a 2/spl times/26 prototype array mounted on a 1/16 scale model of a de Havilland DASH-7 aircraft. A detailed evaluation of the array performance including platform multipath is discussed.
