ADE below the radar L Raked masts pose special problems in both cH Arrangement Jd evaluating the mast for stiffness and mounting of antennae As can be seen in the drawing all nr CA antennae must be mounted on platforms or other 7 horizontal structures in order to maintain the _ vertical orientation of the antenna centerline This Preferred Arrangement implies a secondary member which has a different natural frequency than the raked mast natural frequency In order to reduce the mass of these platforms they tend to be less stiff than the main box structure of the raked mast Thus they will have lower natural frequencies than the raked mast itself Unfortunately the vibratory forces will act through the stiff structure of the raked mast and excite these lighter platforms to the detriment of the antenna 2 5 3 Girder Masts Girder masts are large platforms atop a pair of columns Just like girder constructions in buildings n P L they are relatively stiff athwart ship in their primary axis but less stiff longitudinally torsionally An example of a girder mast is shown in Alternate this drawing with the preferred ADE mounting Ar rangement outboard and above the radar directly on one of the 21 columns and alternate with the ADE centered on mo f LI the girder above the plane of the radar The greatest weakness of girder masts is
