SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN ANTENNA CONFORMAL TO A SPHERE

摘要

Systems and methods for an antenna conformal to a sphere are provided. In certain implementations, an apparatus comprises a sphere having a recessed portion formed therein, the sphere enclosing instrumentation that produces a transmittable electronic signal; central conductor placed within the recessed portion, wherein the central conductor is coupled to the instrumentation to receive the transmittable electronic signal, wherein the transmittable electronic signal is emitted outside of the sphere; and an insulator cap located over the recessed portion, wherein locations on the external surface of the insulator cap and an external facing surface of the central conductor are substantially equidistant from a center point of the sphere.
