Investigation of a Forward Looking Conformal Broadband Antenna for Airborne Wide Area Surveillance

Abstract

The presented work describes an antenna with 2:1 bandwidth (400-800 MHz) that will be used in airborne wide area surveillance. Several designs of the Log-Periodic configuration are introduced in addition to a TEM Horn. Performance parameters like bandwidth, beamwidth, gain and input impedance are discussed for all the designs.
