SUBJECT: Facilities Inspection -
1. On 17 January a visit was made to
Inc., to discuss the design of Log Periodic unconventional an-
tennas with Chief, Engineer, was
originally with and was very instrumental in
the development of the original log periodic antennas.
2. The discussion with Mr. was centered upon the
possibilities for developing unconventional log periodic an-
tennas in the HF band. The attached picture and radiation
curves illustrate an 1/8 wavelength log periodic antenna at
600 mc. The dimensions of this antenna are 6" in height and
about 21" in length. The bandwidth and impedance character-
istics are excellent. An antenna of this configuration at
3 me would be 56 feet in height and 196 feet in length. Not
good for agent use, but interesting for base station use.
3. as given thought to and has done some
calculating on one dimensional log periodic antennas. He
feels a long wire log periodic is feasible and would be
interested in designing such an antenna.
4. specializes in antennas
and microwave equipment. OC-E has had no business with this
company previously, but they should be considered for log
periodic antenna development work in the event the require-
ment arises.
