Abstract

The article presents the results of the development and experimental study that characterize the prototype of dual-polarization Yagi-Uda antenna for the meter wavelength range, which receives/transmits and selects electromagnetic energy in two orthogonal planes of linear polarization without additional mechanical (electromechanical) intervention. The antenna is designed to be part of the command radio line equipment for receiving and transmitting telemetry information in digital format with high-speed flying objects that can rotate around the longitudinal axis and change their polarization during flight.
