Abstract
An antenna comprising a crossed pair of center-fed end-loaded bent-dipole radiators which are structurally embedded into a properly loaded cavity. Broadband, dual independent polarized, and hemisphere field-of-view coverage with low RCS characteristics is provided with this antenna.
Claims3
An antenna comprised of a crossed pair of center-fed end-loaded bent-dipole radiators which are structurally embedded into a properly loaded cavity, whereby broadband, dual independent polarized, and hemisphere field-of-view coverage with low RCS characteristics are provided.
A low-profile electrically small cavity antenna measuring 0.17×0.17×0.05 wavelengths.
A structurally-embedded conformal antenna with a selectively loaded cavity, whereby less than 10% of the cavity volume is comprised of absorbing material while still maintaining pattern symmetry.
