Research abstract
THERE IS A MAJOR ARMY REQUIREMENT FOR REDUCING THE PHYSICAL SIZE OF TACTICAL HF ANTENNAS (FOR USE ON A VARIETY OF CARRIERS FROM TRACKED VEHICLES TO DRONES) FOR ELECTRONIC WARFARE APPLICATIONS WITHOUT DEGRADING CURRENTLY ACCEPTED PERFORMANCE AND STILL MAINTAINING THE SAME GAIN, FREQUENCY AND POWER HANDLING CAPABILITIES. THE APPROACHES WHICH ARE POTENTIALLY CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING THIS ARE: SUPERCONDUCTIVITY; AND DIELECTRIC/FERRITE LOADING.
