Abstract:

Determination of an antenna design which will provide the Marine Corps with a broadband antenna over the range 6-30 mc considerably reduced in size from those presently available and capable of simple and rapid field installation is out lined. Its long range purpose is the continuation of these investigations in an effort to further develop a size reduced antenna over the extended range of 2-100 mc. Two new models of the Scimitar, several UHF models and a VHF model of the Sinuous Log Periodic were tested and evaluated. A proposed mechanical design and installation instructions for a full scale engineering model of Scimitar No. 2, designed to operate over the range 6-42 mc, is included. Within the state-of-the-art survey several new developments are discussed. These include a discussion of a Fast Wave Antenna investigation, preliminary tests on a multi-turn loop tunable configuration developed at Kearfott, and the Hula Hoop DDRR antenna. Mention is also made of a new light weight transportable Log-Periodic Antenna devel oped by Granger Associates and a new broadband multicoupler which will operate over the range 2-30 mc.
