International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 18-21, 2004 / Town & Country Resort, San Diego, California / Missile instrumentation systems designers are constantly striving to achieve better performance out of
their systems. Optimizing the antenna coverage and decreasing the noise figure are constantly strived
for in order to improve system performance. At the same time, weapon systems are becoming smaller
with the resulting reduced area for instrumentation. One way to achieve a lower system noise figure is
to have the limiter, filter, and amplifier (LFA) located as close to the antenna as possible. This can be
achieved by integrating the LFA into the substrate of a conformal wraparound antenna. Not only does
this decrease the system noise, but it also saves space in an already crowded missile instrumentation
section. This paper details the latest efforts in accomplishing this integration.
