Scale model evaluation of a reflecting antenna design for an indoor EMP simulator
Abstract
The purpose of this effort was to construct a scale model of a cusp antenna and evaluate its performance. Measurements were taken to describe the distortion the presence of the cusp introduced into a free space incident field. Measurements of the hangar were also taken to serve as a reference point to gauge how much the cusp was able to reflect energy. As will be described in detail later, the measured performance of the scale model cusp antenna does not agree with the predicted computer solutions from EMA.
