Abstract
A method for the experimental determination of the distribution of radio-frequency current on the metal surface of an aircraft mounting a transmitting antenna is described. Plots of the amplitude and phase of the current excited on various types of air frames by typical medium-high-frequency antennas are presented and compared qualitatively with the results obtained from quasi-static arguments.
