Abstract:

The use of a small ferrite antenna array is shown theoretically to be superior in performance to the whip antenna supplied with a PSN-4 Loran-C receiver manpack set. While the paper is overall theoretical in nature, the theoretical results and conclusions have been verified in subsequent limited experimentation. Initial test with a compact ferrite rod antenna array in place of a whip showed that the time for acquisition of Loran-C time coordinates with the PSN-4 set is reduced to about one third the time it takes with a 15 foot long whip.
