Research abstract
The objective is the development of a high power microwave antenna to operate with 100 megawatts pulsed input at L band. Unfortunately, the present dish antennas capable of achieving this objective are too large for use on Army land vehicles (HMM) and airplatforms (Blackhawk). With recent antennas in dielectric materials, forrelectric materials, semiconductors, and plasmas, coupled with advances in numerical and analytic prediction techniques, it should be feasible to accomplish a miniaturized antennawhich will meet the Army's objectives.
