An antenna ( 100 ) applied to a structure ( 200 ), the antenna ( 100 ) comprising a series of conductive and dielectric coatings. A conductive coating backplane or ground plane ( 110 ) is applied to a substrate structure ( 200 ), a non-conductive dielectric coating ( 120 ) is applied over the outer surface of the conductive coating backplane or ground plane ( 202 ), and a conductive coating patch, microstrip array or radiating element ( 130 ) is applied over the outer surface of the dielectric coating ( 120 b). The pin of a coaxial cable ( 304 ) extends through the conductive coating backplane ( 110 ), the dielectric coating ( 120 ), and the conductive coating patch ( 130 ), for transmission of a signal from the antenna ( 100 ). The method allows for the non-destructive application of antennas on existing platforms for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals. |
