Abstract
The eLoran(enhanced Long Range Navigation) transmitting antenna is analyzed for co-location with an AM transmitting antenna in an MF transmitting site. To compensate for the loading effect, the umbrella-type loading is applied for eLoran antenna. The validity of the co-location between the MF antenna and the eLoran antenna is verified through the simulation results of the radiation pattern and the return loss. Also, coupling including antenna matching circuit is analyzed to verify the effect of the transmitting circuit. The coupling between the LF and eLoran antenna is -53.3 dB at 100 kHz and -64.8 dB at 1,053 kHz, respectively.
