Extremely Wideband Antenna for Airborne and Land Mobile Communications Systems Navy SBIR FY2007.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2007.2 Topic No.: N07-138 Topic Title: Extremely Wideband Antenna for Airborne and Land Mobile Communications Systems Proposal No.: N072-138-0295 Firm: Astron Wireless Technoligies, Inc. 22560 Glenn Drive Suite 114 Sterling, Virginia 20164-4440 Contact: Joseph Jahoda Phone: (703) 450-5517 Web Site: www.astronwireless.com Abstract: The objective of the Phase 1 and 2 SBIR topic N07-138, "Extremely Wide Antenna for Airborne and Land Mobile Communications Systems" is to develop antenna technologies that can be incorporated into compact, efficient, and wideband antennas that can be militarized for air and land mobile platforms.  Cover the full 2 to 2000 MHz spectrum  VSWR is less than 3:1  Handle 100 Watts CW  Omni-directional with Vertical Polarization  Height of 10 inches  The final antenna will fit into a "blade" radome for Land Mobile application and Conformal for Aircraft applications Also, a UHF SATCOM (240 to 380 MHz) antenna to enable the operation of multiple narrow band channels. RHCP with hemispheric coverage, 200 W CW RF input for transmit. 10 inch height. A full-scale improvement and a revolutionary approach to antenna design and the integration of antennas on airborne and land mobile platform are absolutely essential to achieve the objectives of this program. Astron is committed to achieving this objective. Benefits: The Astron proposed Quantum Physics approach to antenna miniaturization will lead to applications on most antennas which were hereto forth limited in size by the one Quarter wavelength limitation. The compact, low volume, small sized, highly efficient antenna will be useful for DOD/Commercial antenna where size, observability and low radar cross section are important. Return
