PACCAR
Compact AM Broadcast Band Radiating Antenna
The student team worked to design and construct a portable, self supporting, compact radiating antenna that will efficiently cover the AM broadcast band and produce E fields at greater magnitudes than the electrically short dipole antenna currently being used. The compact radiating antenna will be used as part of a testing practice utilized by PACCAR to evaluate on-vehicle sources of electromagnetic noise which may interfere with the radio receivers in the vehicle.
