Intra Vehicle Antenna Isolation Prediction Demonstration

This paper is specifically directed to the demonstration of the antenna to antenna compatibility analysis program (ATACAP) by comparing available measured data to computed data. A study was performed in support of the B-1 EMIC program by Radio Interference Control Branch of Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD/ENVCC). The study consisted of an antenna isolation analysis at various antenna locations on the aircraft using the (ATACAP) developed by MCAIR for AFAL. Comparisons were then made with antenna isolation test data obtained by North American Rockwell on a B-1 (1/12) scaled model.
