Computer analysis of the trussed-whip and discone-cage antennas

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7121971
Two U.S. Navy communications antennas, the trussed-whip and the discone-cage, are numerically modeled and analyzed. Results are obtained for antenna input impedance in the hf frequency range. The computed results are compared directly with scale-model measurements. The study illustrates an improvement in the numerical results obtained for wire of varying radii by use of the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC) modeling program. 12 figures.
