| Abstract: |
Sciperio will use advanced genetic algorithm (GA) modeling tools for the development of a minimum footprint antenna system that has been optimized for use with existing Navy sensor system electronics. The GA modeling tools will also be used to improve the antenna system operation as it applies to the operating environment. The miniaturized optimal antenna system will then be placed on an existing Navy platform for testing and evaluation using the Sciperio direct write dispensing system. The advantages of the direct write system include the ability to place electronics on low temperature and conformal surfaces that are not typically considered well suited for the placement of electronic systems. |
| Benefits: |
Reduced footprint or miniaturized RF antenna systems are typically well received in the commercial market place. The reduction in size of RF antenna systems has not kept pace with the size reduction of the electronic counterparts leaving a market place that is eager for small antennas that possess operating characteristics that are comparable to the large footprint legacy systems. |
