Research abstract

To address the U.S. Army's need for a low-profile, ruggedized antenna that operates in the SINCGARS, ultrahigh-frequency (UHF), and L-band ranges and supports tactical radio waveforms (Soldier Radio Waveform and Wideband Networking Waveform) for vehicular-mounted applications, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new High-Isolation Transmit/Receive Antenna (HITRA) system based on an innovative broadband antenna design with an operating frequency from 20 MHz to 2 GHz. With an omnidirectional pattern, vertical polarization, and 75 W power handling in a small form factor 63 dB, with peak gains 0.5-9 dBi and power handling capability of >100 W RF power. In Phase II we plan to develop and build a full HITRA system prototype and test it in a realistic environment to meet Army requirements.
