Research abstract
Modern sensors and communication equipment in both the military and commercial sectors require low-cost, small size antennas and circuitry. We propose to investigate low-cost medium-to high-volume manufacturing methods for compact arrays of conformal waveguide. The goals in Phase I will be to investigate and determine the best antenna technology and fabrication methods for military fuse and seeker antennas. A sample waveguide array will be fabricated in Phase I using the best antenna technology. Related antenna applications in the commercial sector will be investigated.
