A Shunt-Feed Antenna System On A Small Supersonic Aircraft, Larry Joseph Nanney Jan 1967

A Shunt-Feed Antenna System On A Small Supersonic Aircraft, Larry Joseph Nanney

Masters Theses

"A technique was developed which successfully predicted the reactance of a shunt cavity exciting the air frame of a small supersonic aircraft as an antenna. This was possible by the use of the wire above a ground place approximation which closely defined the characteristic impedance of the shunt fed cavity. A correlation was made between the maximum values of parallel resistance of the shunt fed cavity and the length of the air frame or portions of the air frame, which at this point were found to be a quarter wavelength in length. Measurements of the impedance of the shunt-feed system …
