Research abstract

ThinKom, with > 10 years experience developing and producing lightweight, low-cost and high-efficiency antennas using Continuous Transverse Stub (CTS) antenna technology (and a license to CTS from Raytheon), and two years of commercial antenna technologydevelopment, including innovative antenna technologies such as WAVETRAP (wideband, near-omni offering beam shaping and beam steering capabilities) and a dual band variant of VICTS (Variable Inclined CTS), will investigate and recommend a Wideband RadiatingAperture antenna technology and design addressing the K, Ka and Q operating bands. Recommended antenna (or antennas) will exhibit these features: 1) total radiation efficiency > 70% ( 100,000 per year addressable market). For the business jet and commercial jet markets, our dual band VICTS architecture promises toallow ThinKom to drive the antenna
