Design and Testing of a Feed Network for a Transparent Antenna Array

Tags:
network design

Overview This paper describes the design and testing of a feed network for a transparent flat plate array antenna. This antenna is the top of a stack of three antennas that must occupy the same volume while pointing in different directions. At many pointing angles, the antenna will create blockage for the antennas underneath. In order to minimize the blockage, the array and its transmission lines must be as transparent as possible to the antennas underneath. The flat plate array consists of active elements over a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) ground plane that is transparent at the frequencies of the antennas below. The feed lines must also be transparent to the antennas below. This is achieved by minimizing the total area occupied by the feed lines.

Surfing at 30,000ft - how it works

The coming antennas will allow planes to maintain reception for planes on polar routes above Greenland. Either way, the connections feed directly to an in-plane bank of servers, which authenticate users and ensure payment has been made.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
