Extract

Reference to the few general papers on aircraft antennas which had been published up to 25 years ago shows that the underlying rules of antenna siting were well understood even though there were few theoretical models at the time. The hardware has changed considerably to reflect new environmental requirements and new manufacturing techniques. In this paper, antenna siting rules are reviewed in the light of aircraft developments and the increasing range of airborne radio systems. Some recent solutions to siting problems are discussed together with some thoughts on possible future problems.
