Abstract

Recent work on optimizing antenna installations on large flight inspection (FI) aircraft is presented. The innovative aspect of this study is an automatic procedure and tool than can optimize, analyze, and design the best antenna installation locations using a unified performance index, considering all practical constraints, including signal quality requirements, environmental effects, actual flight geometries, and others. Example design procedures and results for actual flight mission aircraft is provided.
