Research abstract
Spectrum Bullpen proposed solution for this topic is to build a system that comprises of a Broadband antenna; fed by an innovative tuner, with a low power deployment system controlled by an integrated microprocessor. The tuner will have an innovative high power solid state switch fabric that switches to the best antenna and matching LC network for the transmitted signal and remains in that configuration until the transmitted frequency is changed. The array’s structure is composed of composite materials that does not affect antenna radiation patterns and is rigid enough to handle 2/3 seas but as a whole system is neutrally buoyant.
