Title: BROADBAND SUBMARINE COMMUNICATIONS MAST ANTENNA

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: N/A

Award Amount: $50,000.00

Abstract:
A design study is proposed for mast mounted antenna systems to be used on submarine platforms as part of the COPERNICUS System communication link. Several types of multi-element antennas structures and matching network topologies will be investigated. Optimization analyses will be performed for each combination of structure and network topology. This will result in a set of 'optimum' designs. A tradeoff analysis will then be performed to determine the design or designs that best satisfy the requirements for the Copernicus System. Optimization will be accomplished using ANTELOPE - a unique set of software tools which Toyon has developed to optimization electromagnetic EM system design concepts. The antenna systems will make use of optical technologies. This includes fiber optic links, optical modulator devices which directly sense the incoming EM fields, and optically controllable circuit elements.
