  • Abstract
    A computed value of static capacitance for a 300-ft umbrella antenna with twelve 9-in diameter multiple wire-ribs is presented and compared with measured capacitances of both fractional- and full-scale models of this structure. In addition, the computed values of static capacitance of this umbrella antenna are presented for rib diameters of frac{1}{4} to 48 in which indicate capacitance increases of approximately 50 percent.
