Abstract

An inductive, internally fed, ferrite-loaded antenna mounted at the geomecal center of a helicopter. The antenna is capable of transmitting in the 2-30 MHZ range with particularly good characteristics between 2.0-3.5 MHZ and employs the air frame as a radiating element. The radiation pattern is circular and extends for a radius greater than 200 mi. at an altitude of 300 feet.
