Abstract:
An antenna has been designed for the Combined Surveillance and Foliage Penetration Radar COMSFOR project. The antenna provides an existing X- band surveillance radar with a moderate foliage penetration capability. The foliage penetration antenna is an array of L-band, stripline dipoledirector elements placed in front of an X-band aperture. A description of the dual- frequency antenna is given along with the measured RF performance at both frequency bands. A separate L-band corner reflector antenna design which can be mounted on a lightweight telescoping mast is also described. The antenna has demonstrated excellent gain and pattern characteristics for its size.
