Abstract:

The report describes the design, fabrication and test results of an improved ATCRBS (Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System) array antenna for mounting on the reflector of an ASR radar antenna. The antenna consists of a 4-foot high by 26-foot-wide array with 252 dipole radiating elements. The structure of the antenna utilizes a specially designed tuned reflector to provide a physically open ground plane which minimizes wind loading while maintaining low back lobe levels. A companion 4-foot high omni antenna, intended for mounting on a pole next to the array, was fabricated and tested, and is also described.
