METHOD FOR INTEGRATING AN ANTENNA WITH A VEHICLE FUSELAGE

摘要

An antenna frame for reducing radar cross section of a vehicle provided with a flat microstrip patch antenna array comprising a number of microstrip patches arranged in an array pattern, the antenna frame: —being arranged to surround the outer periphery of the flat antenna array —the frame comprising a first conductive sheet; —the first conductive sheet extending from the most peripheral patches and outward in a sloping manner; wherein dielectric and magnetic absorbent material are arranged to improve impedance transition from a point of the antenna to a point on the periphery of the frame, which is also contemplated as adjoining a vehicle fuselage.
