  • Antenna apparatus and methods of use therefor
    Patent number: 8378903
    Abstract: Antenna apparatus and methods of using the same that employ a broadband, planar, single feed ultra high frequency satellite communication (UHF SATCOM) antenna device which may be mounted on composite or other non-metallic and non-electrically conductive surfaces. The antenna apparatus may be implemented using a single antenna feed and impedance matching network with a low profile antenna shape that optimizes over-the-horizon gain, with no requirement for a ground plane. The antenna apparatus may also be implemented to cover the entire UHF SATCOM frequency band using a single antenna feed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: L-3 Communications Integrated Systems L.P.
