DIFFRACTION OF EM RADIATION ON HELICOPTER

Abstract

Problem of impact of helicopter fuselage on establishing radio connection at low altitude is based on flying in real conditions, when loss of radio contact occurs during helicopter landing. This loss of connection can be caused mainly by diffraction of communication signal on tail of the helicopter, or by system of same band antennas used on single helicopter fuselage. This article is oriented on possibility of signal loss caused by diffraction of electromagnetic radiation on helicopter tail boom.
