The book covers antenna siting and placement, computational antenna modelling on structures, measurement on sub-scale models of the airframe, full-scale ground measurements and in-flight measurements. The author addresses the different stages in the process of developing an entire antenna layout, as well as covering individual retrofits on existing platforms. She explains the physics of antenna placement qualitatively, thus obviating the requiremAerospace series (Chichester, England)AirplanesRadio antennasInstallationAntenna radiation patternsAirplanesRadio antennasInstallation.Antenna radiation patterns.621.382/4629.135Macnamara Thereza754878MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810077303321Introduction to antenna placement and installation4079247UNINA
