Measurement of the Spin of a Projectile in Flight.~-HowARD D. WARSHAW3
Projectile spin is measured by recording the voltage generated in a pick-up coil as the rotating field of a transversely magnetized projectile passes the coil.
A permanent magnet within a brass sleeve (for magnetic insulation) is inserted in a projectile of mild steel. Rotation of the projectile as it passes the pick-up coil generates a sinusoidal e.m.f, which is displayed on the screen of a cathode-ray tube and photographed for subsequent analysis. Figure 1 shows the laboratory setup and a block diagram of the as-3* QU~~" "~P~[SUM [D taN[ OF~.leF

A possible defense of an armored vehicle against a high-kinetic-energy projectile is based on generating a strong explosion in a close proximity of the projectile and at some distance from the vehicle.

## Abstract Long and thick dipoles are presented, with a feeding point located off the centre. Parameter studies are performed, showing that asymmetric radiation patterns with a main lobe in a preferred direction can be achieved. Experimental results confirm the feasibility of these antennas and il
