Phased arrays are becoming increasingly desired in communication applications because of their high performance capability and relative ease of installation into mobile platforms. However, present-day phased arrays cannot maintain pure polarization characteristics over a large scan column. This… More

The objective of this SBIR effort is to develop and demonstrate the technical feasibility of an improved ultra wideband antenna element technology suitable for both receive and transmit functions. The end goal is to significantly extend the currentstate-of-the-art in ultra wideband phased array and… More

The current antennas of choice for earth stations are parabolic reflector antennas such as those used for tracking telemetry and control (TT&C) for the AFSCN. These antennas are required to have horizon-to-horizon, full-hemispherical coverage and oftenseveral antennas are required at each remote… More

Radar absorbing material (RAM) is a critical technology component that significantly impacts the strategic military capability of virtually all branches of the United States armed forces. It is used for anechoic chamber design as well as for theelectromagnetic radar cross-section (RCS) reduction of… More

Alpha Omega Electromagnetics LLC. has proposed a novel, bandwidth-tunable array radiating element architecture. This technology will support advanced technology multi-octave dual-polarized radar or electronic warefare-based phased array radiating apertures. In this SBIR program, it is our objective… More

Through execution of AOE's Phase I SBIR effort, AOE was able to achieve the primary objective of assessing the technical viability of AOE's proposed bandwidth-tunable radiating element architecture concept toward the realization of an advanced technology ultra-wideband dual-polarized array… More

The objective of this Phase I SBIR effort is to develop and demonstrate a low cost, low weight, two independent simultaneous transmit beam antenna for use in SATCOM systems like the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT) downlink. The current MILSATCOM system supports one downlink… More

The objective of this Phase II SBIR effort is to develop and demonstrate a low cost, lightweight, two independent simultaneous transmit beam antenna for use in SATCOM systems like the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT) downlink. The current MILSATCOM system supports one… More

ABSTRACT: The objective of this Phase I SBIR effort is to develop and demonstrate a multifunction, multi-beam X-band subarray that is capable of simultaneously supporting communications for satellite operations and radar for air/space surveillance. Under this proposed effort, Alpha Omega… More
