Research abstract
THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES AN INNOVATIVE TECHNICAL APPROACH FOR DVELOPING TRANSPORTABLE AND RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE VLF.LF ANTENNAS, CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE FULL RANGE OF 616-A OPERATING MODES. OUR BASIC DESIGN CONECPT INVOLVES THE USE OF FAST-WAVE TECHNIQUES, IN WHICH SERIES CAPACITORS ARE USED TO DRAMTICALLY INCREASE THE RADIATING EFFICIENCY OF SIMPLE, ON SURFACE WIRE ANTENNAS; OTHER DETAILED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES ARE ALSO INCLUDED. THE FAST-WAVE APPROACH DEPLOYMENT (AND RECOVERY) IN TWO HOURS OR LESS AT VIRTUALLY ANY SITE BY A TWO - TO THREE-MAN CREW.
