Conformal Multi-Band Antenna

Patent #US10938105B2

• Obviates typical radome barriers to entry
  • No additional aero loads, conformal to skin
  • No birdstrike, no lightning, no operational burdens
  • No constraint on size, trades aperture efficiency for aperture area

   

• Ameliorates typical ESA shortcoming
  • • • • • Low power/low thermal
          • No high-cost/high part count distributed RFIC’s
          • Simple PCB/SMT componentry & manufacturing processes
• Unencumbered by Contemporary Hybrid limitations
  • • • • • High reliability/graceful degradation
          • Maximum return on complexity savings
          • No “new physics”

• Multiband capable
  • • • Modular tile approach scalable across all airframes
      • Full Ku Tx/Rx and K band Rx on single tile, Ka Tx tiles interspersed
      • Area can be allocated as required
