Abstract

This paper presents the analysis details of monopole antenna for Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) for Cospas Sarsat search and Rescue System. Change in antenna radiation pattern with respect to variations in antenna length, the height of antenna from the antenna ground, ground plane dimensions and beacon floating levels are simulated and analyzed in detail. Test results of an optimum configuration that can meet Cospas Sarsat specifications for 406MHz EPIRB are also presented.

Keyphrases: 406MHz, Beacon, COSPAS-SARSAT, EPIRB
