Abstract :
Shipboard line of sight (LOS) communication systems commonly rely on monopole and dipole antennas. When constructed out of segmented wires, the free space performance for these antenna types are well understood. This paper presents the results from a numerical study of deck proximity and mounting effects on the performance of a complex ultra high frequency (UHF) LOS antenna based on the multifunction electromagnetic radiating system (MERS) concept.
