Abstract

Interactions between co-sited antennas on airframes can seriously limit the performance of control, guidance and communications systems. Much ground and in-flight data has been gathered and laboratory investigations have indicated where improvements can be made. Empirical formulae have been developed which are applicable for both in-band and out-of-band frequencies. The paper describes some of the investigations made to determine the degree of isolation between transmitting and receiving antennas within the frequency range 2 Mhz to 1250 MHz and is divided into three sections: 1. Investigations concerned with aircraft installations. 2. Laboratory investigations on antennas mounted on ground planes and on a cylinder, the behavior of filters and the performance of in-service transceivers. 3. The development of empirical formulae.
