Summary

This project involved measuring coupling between the communication antennas mounted on the C-130 Hercules Aircraft. Antenna simulation and optimisation using SuperNEC were done with verification from scale model measurements.

Project details

A Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. Same study as the Mirage was done except for a frequency range of 2-420MHz. Models was up to 12 000 segments with one plane of symmetry. We used 20:1, 30:1 and 72:1 copper scale models to do measurements on in order to validate results from SuperNEC and obtain detailed coupling between communication and navigation antennas on the aircraft.
