Conformal Array Antenna Modelling within EUCLID CEPA-1 / Modern Radar Technology

Abstract

The mounting of antennas on military platforms, land-, sea- and air-based is a well-known problem due to the conflict it generates between platform and sensor interests. Most visibly this situation arises in aircraft where platform interests gain the highest priority and lead to sub-optimum antennas and antenna positions. Examples are limited field-of-view nose-mounted radar antennas and aerodynamically radomed communication antennas
