Wide sector coverage antennas
Abstract
The general design and performance characteristics of transmit and receive antennas that are currently used in electronic warfare systems are reviewed. Among transmit antennas, three-to-one bandwidth, asymmetric-beam, and circularly polarized horns are discussed, as are extremely broadband monopoles and spiral antennas. In a discussion of receive antennas, attention is given to flat and conical spirals, including cavity-backed flat spirals operating over the 2.5-18 GHz range; log periodic dipoles; and biconical horns. Finally, the design configurations and performance of interferometer direction-finding systems are briefly discussed.
