Breakthroughs In Low-profile Leaky-Wave HPM Antennas

Abstract

This report describes progress during the 8th quarter of this program and summarizes the current status of the research. Technical activities this period included investigation and application of a simple but clarifying wave-mapping methodology that provides guidance in making more-effective use of curved platform surfaces. This results in conformal designs that provide both higher gain and greater peak power handling. In particular, this design perspective steered us to a notable success during this period, with the design of a CAWSEA that can deliver superior gain while conforming to the same radius cylinder as an earlier, standard/recommended design.
