Abstract

An antenna 100 applied to a structure 200, the antenna 100 comprising a series of conductive and dielectric coatings. A conductive coating backplane or ground plane 110 is applied to a substrate structure 200, a non-conductive dielectric coating 120 is applied over the outer surface of the conductive coating backplane or ground plane 202, and a conductive coating patch, microstrip array or radiating element 130 is applied over the outer surface of the dielectric coating 120b. The pin of a coaxial cable 304 extends through the conductive coating backplane 110, the dielectric coating 120, and the conductive coating patch 130, for transmission of a signal from the antenna 100. The method allows for the non-destructive application of antennas on existing platforms for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 330679, filed October 29,2001. technical field [0002] This invention relates to coated antennas and methods of making the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a coated antenna which utilizes a conductive coating to replace the metal portions of conventional antennas and a dielectric coating to replace the dielectric layers of conventional antennas. Background technique [0003] The military requires small form factor, low cost, low maintenance antennas that can be flush mounted on various types of land, air and water rigs including (but not limited to) tanks, aircraft, In boats, and even in cloth items. The aerospace industry now offers mechanically scanned phased arrays in small form factors. Small form factor mechanically scanned antennas are also now available that provide wider scan coverage at very low cost. Both phased array and mechanical antennas are suitable for ...
