Research abstract
In this Phase II SBIR Army Program, Physical Sciences Inc. will design, build, and test a novel high-gain, quasi-volumetric, directive antenna array comprising advanced single radiating elements that were demonstrated in Phase I. These single quasi-volumetric elements provide more directive pattern, greater bandwidth, and higher gain than conventional dipole antennas in less than half the linear dimension. The proposed array provides superior performance desirable for directed energy applications using a smaller area than equivalent parabolic antennas and dipole arrays.
