Abstract:

The construction of an rf anechoic chamber at NRL presented an opportunity to study, in detail, satellite turnstile antennas. This study was conducted in three phases research, prototype development and testing, and flight model satellite tests. As a result of this program it was found that the satellite size and shape and the rf harness had a profound effect on the pattern. Tests on the flight model satellites confirmed observations made during the research and development phase. Author
