Antenna Placement on Electrically Large Object

Calculate the S-parameters (coupling) over a frequency range for three monopole antennas located near the front, middle and rear of a Rooivalk helicopter. Create a protected patch antenna (requires a password to reveal the model details) and import and place the protected patch antenna on the back fuselage as an ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) antenna to transmit a distress signal.
