The 2sa13 antenna

---

(May 2 2006) Click on the links below to see the different steps in the design procedure for 2SA13. 2SA13 Computer design using OMNEC. 2SA13 design verification and fine adjustment of element lengths by accurate impedance measurements. 2SA13 mechanical tolerances Computer analysis of performance degradation due to dimensional changes. 2SA13 Final free space geometry. Optimisation is rerun to accomodate changes needed for production. 2SA13 Simulations of degradation caused by stacking framework and other metal structures near the antenna. Remains to be done: Boom correction evaluation for elements mounted in isolators on top of the boom tube. Design of the feed system (baluns) Design of boom tubes and stacking harness
