  33. HAARP Observatory HAARP (High frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is to be a major Arctic facility for upper atmospheric and solar-terrestrial research. HAARP is being built on a DoD-owned site near Gakona, Alaska. From:http://server5550.itd.nrl.navy.mil/projects/HAARP/images/ohd.jpg

  34. HAARP Antenna Array The HF antenna system to be used for Active Ionospheric Research at the HAARP site will assist other facility instruments in the study the overhead ionosphere. As a result, it too has been designed to optimize or restrict the transmission pattern to lie within a narrow overhead region. To achieve this desirable antenna pattern, the HAARP system uses an "array" of individual antenna elements. The HAARP antenna array is similar or identical to many other types of directive antenna types in use for both military and civilian applications including air traffic control radar systems, long range surveillance systems, steerable communication systems and navigation systems.

  39. The Bottom Line • ANYTHING radiates. Sometimes you want it to, and sometimes you don’t. • To choose an antenna for your design, prepare a LINK BUDGET to determine the necessary gain and directivity of your antenna. • Don’t forget MATCHING NETWORKS to prevent reflection between your antenna and your circuit.
