Inflatable Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Antenna

Abstract

This project developed a lightweight, portable SATCOM antenna for use with the Support Wide Area Network (SWAN) SATCOM Terminals. The portable antennas can replace the current rigid 1.2 meter and 1.8 meter antennas. Inflatable SATCOM antennas pack smaller and have a larger aperture that enables increased data throughput to include Full Motion Video.
