Ultrawideband time-delay steered UHF dipole linear array antenna
Summary
Summary
An ultrawideband fixed time-delay steered UHF dipole array antenna has been developed for coverage in the 300 to 450 MHz frequency range for communications or radar applications. The antenna utilizes a parasitically-tuned dipole array for linear polarization and is mounted over a ground plane. Numerical electromagnetic simulations were used to...
Ultrawideband cavity-backed resistively loaded planar dipole array for ground penetrating radar
Summary
Summary
An ultrawideband (UWB) cavity-backed resistively loaded planar dipole array antenna has been developed for the 100 to 400 MHz frequency range for ground penetrating radar applications. The antenna has been designed with a 3m aperture to perform surveys of a wide swath of ground from a moving vehicle. The performance...
Ring array antenna with optimized beamformer for simultaneous transmit and receive
Summary
Summary
In order to avoid self-interference, Simultaneous Transmit And Receive (STAR) systems require low mutual coupling between their respective transmit and receive antennas. This paper discusses the development of an 8-element transmit ring array antenna on a circular ground plane with a raised receive element. When combined with a beamformer that...
Low-profile dual-polarized UHF array antenna
Summary
Summary
A low-profile dual-polarized UHF array antenna has been developed for wide field-of-view dual sector coverage in the 250 to 450 MHz frequency range for communications or radar applications. The antenna utilizes a pair of parasitically-tuned dipole arrays for horizontal polarization and a pair of parasitically-tuned monopole arrays for vertical polarization...
Ultrawideband VHF/UHF dipole array antenna
Summary
Summary
A linearly-polarized ultrawideband dipole array antenna has been developed for coverage in the VHF/UHF frequency range for communications or radar applications. The antenna design utilizes a horizontally polarized array of thick tubular dipole elements above a ground plane. Numerical electromagnetic simulations were used to analyze and optimize the antenna parameters...
