Abstract :
Analysis of and measurements on an 8-element uniform linear array for HF surface-wave radar are described. The array covers 8 to 16 MHz with beam-steering over a 90° arc. A total of 16 tetrahedral antenna elements are used, arranged in eight doublet pairs. Theoretical analysis of the array is described, and measured radiation patterns taken on board a small boat in the North Sea are presented.
