Breakthroughs In Low-Profile Leaky-Wave HPM Antennas

Abstract

This report describes progress during the 4th quarter of this program and summarizes the current status of the research. Our primary technical activities this period consisted of (1) identifying a significant generalization of the leaky-wave apertures under investigation, promising substantially-improved conformability and application to curved, interrupted, and/or irregular platform surfaces; and (2) a way to reduce antenna depth in some circum-stances, potentially easing packaging and system integration. These latest research paths may expand the applicability of this technology beyond what was originally anticipated.
