A LOW WINDLOAD BROADBAND FLAPS™ ANTENNA FOR TELEMETRY TRACKING SYSTEMS

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 30-November 02, 1995 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada / The use of low windload FLAPS™ antennas in telemetry tracking systems yields
sizable savings in system cost due to the reduced requirements imposed on the
pedestal assembly and on the underlying support structure. Traditionally the use of
these antennas has been limited to applications in which frequency bandwidths did not
exceed 10-13%. This paper describes a variation of the FLAPS™ technology which
allows operation over bandwidths in excess of 35% and makes it usable in broadband
systems. Two new applications are feasible: one for a ground based telemetry system
operating in the 1435-1850 or 1750-2400 MHz band and one for a shipboard satellite
communication system operating in the 4000-6000 MHz band.
