Wideband wing-conformal phased-array antenna having dielectric-loaded log-periodic electrically-small, folded monopole elements

摘要

A compact, lightweight, wideband, wing-conformal phased-array antenna structure, the array elements of which are identical, log-periodic arrangements of electrically small, folded-monopole elements printed on both sides of a dielectric substrate. A significant reduction in the height of the array elements makes this array configuration feasible for many airborne applications.
