Abstract :
The roll-plane radiation patterns of on-aircraft antennas are analyzed using high-frequency solutions. This is a basic study of aircraft-antenna pattern performance in which the aircraft is modeled in its most basic form. The fuselage is assumed to be a perfectly conducting circular cylinder with the antennas mounted near the top or bottom. The wings are simulated by arbitrarily many-sided flat plates and the engines by circular cylinders. The patterns in each case are verified by measured results taken on simple models as well as scale models of actual aircraft.
