  • the Numerical Electromagnetic Code (NEC) 4.1 method of moments program indicate that the KinStar antenna produces an essentially omnidirectional radiation pattern in the horizontal plane. The developers' tests also show that the KinStar antenna meets the minimum efficiency for Class B, C, and D stations. The elevation pattern of the KinStar antenna can be represented by the formula in Section 73.160(b)(2) of the Commission's rules for a top-loaded tower, using an effective value of top-loading determined by moment method modeling. AM applicants shall use the manufacturer's computed figures for the efficiency of the antenna and for the effective top-loading. cilities by AM applicants proposing nondirectional KinStar antennas. The developers' report also includes NEC calculations of electric and magnetic field strengths near

II. Computer Modeling versus Proofs of Performance . The mathematical formulas for calculating the radiation characteristics of AM directional antennas are contained in 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.150, 73.152 and 73.160. These formulas are also contained in the Bi-lateral Agreement between the United States and Canada relating to AM Broadcasting, and the Bi-lateral Agreement between the United States and Mexico relating to AM Broadcasting. The International Frequency Registration Board of the International Telecommunications Union also uses these formulas for administering the Region Agreement for Broadcast Service in Region 2.
