SATCOM antenna siting study on a P-3C using the NEC-BSC V3.1

The location of a UHF SATCOM antenna on a P-3C aircraft is studied using the NEC-Basic Scattering Code V3.1 (NEC-BSC3). The NEC-BSC3 is a computer code based on the uniform theory of diffraction. The code is first validated for this application using scale model measurements. In general, the comparisons are good except in 10 degree regions near the nose and tail of the aircraft. Patterns for various antenna locations are analyzed to achieve a prescripted performance.

Target signature modeling and bistatic scattering measurement studies

Four areas of study are summarized: bistatic scattering measurements studies for a compact range; target signature modeling for test and evaluation hardware in the loop situation; aircraft code modification study; and SATCOM antenna studies on aircraft.

Target signature modeling and bistatic scattering measurement studies

An annual report that summarizes the work done on Grant No. NAG2-542 is presented. There are four areas of study to be summarized: (1) bistatic scattering measurement studies for a compact range; (2) target signature modeling for test and evaluation hardware in the loop situations; (3) aircraft code modification study; and (4) SATCOM antenna studies on aircraft.
