Research abstract

FIRST RF Corporation of Boulder, CO, proposes an in-depth trade study to identify the optimal antenna architecture for each end of a geosynchronous link capable of surviving the first and second order effects of a critical nuclear event.Antennas which enable sufficient protection from radiation for the sensitive active electronics will be considered, with measured results guiding the convergence.
