Through theoretical analysis and experimental testing ASI will ascertain the suitability of using gas plasma to develop a high-powered, reconfigurable antenna operating in the S and X-bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. This design concept would be usedto detect and track ballistic missiles. We… More

"ASI's plasma consultant, Igor Alexeff, PhD, has invented, tested and patented an atmospheric pressure, dc of 60 Hz AC discharge, that has been operated in air, helium, argon and nitrogen. The apparatus has in laboratory testing successfully destroyedmicroorganisms. The apparatus does not require a… More

"Through theoretical analysis and experimental testing ASI is ascertaining the suitability of using gas plasma for a high-powered, reconfigurable antenna operating in both the S and X-bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. This design would be used todetect and track ballistic missile. We believe… More

"The performance of any radar, antenna, or electronic system depends on its ability to project and defend itself against various forms of electromagnetic interference including frequencies in the S and X band. Our proposal is to design a plasma barrier andtunable frequency selective surfaces that… More

To reach the objectives of new and innovative technologies and architectures for phased array radar system development, ionized gas plasma antennas (GPA) and waveguides may be effective. GPA approaches such as windowing to reduce back and side lobes,increase radiation efficiency and provide rapid… More
