Research abstract

Novaa has developed an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna capability able to provide continuous operation across an enormous bandwidth. Unlike current products, our solution enables multi-band operation (e.g. across common missile RF bands of S, C, X) for multifunctional operations all on a single aperture. In this regard, many separate wireless functions which would conventionally require numerous separate antennas are consolidated into a single shared, low profile aperture enabling resilient, UWB, LPI communications. This substantially reduces cost, size, and integration complexity over current solutions. Moreover, by eliminating the need to pick a single operating band, our UWB architecture is simultaneously legacy compatible, future proof, as well as platform, network, and vendor agnostic.
