Multifrequency Arrays: Design and Cost Considerations

Abstract

This report describes several multiband antenna techniques and a method of cost analysis for array antennas. A concept is given which has potential to reduce overall array costs for large phased array systems by using component commonality to propagate several frequency bands. Techniques which can be used to reduce the cost, weight, and complexity of phased arrays are given, as well as potential applications for these techniques on small craft such as the hydrofoil.
