Research abstract
Space Micro teamed with SDSU, will develop an Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) antenna capable of operating simultaneously at very high frequency (VHF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) while being electrically-small, efficient, and capable of high power handling. Current constraints on antennas for AEA systems in VHF and UHF bands are the size and impedance. This translates to shorter mission durations, aerodynamic drag, greater power consumption, and unfocused radiated energy. The antenna will accept and radiate more of the power from its source to its intended target versus reflecting it back to the source and damaging it.
