Abstract:

A resume of the design, development, and tests of certain helical radiators in recessed cavities is presented. This report covers the original design work performed at the Aircraft Radiation Laboratory and further development of 10 experimental models attributed to the Dalmo-Victor Company in order to improve the electrical and mechanical properties of the antenna. As a result of tests conducted by Aircraft Radiation Laboratory on the experimental models of the AT-230XAAPT and development conducted as outlined in the Dalmo- Victor Company final report based on Exhibit MCREE-715, a production model of Antenna AT-230APT is therefore now available to the Services.
