Tech 101: Antenna Technologies

The DoD mission is increasingly conducted in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) which is a heavily utilized, contested, dynamical, high-dynamic range domain. Typical EMS missions include communications, active and passive sensing, electronic warfare, and directed energy. The antenna is the central component between electronic systems and the electromagnetic spectrum, thus it’s characteristics and limitations play a significant role in the overall success of EMS operations. Professor Jonathan Chisum from the Wireless Institute at the University of Notre Dame will provide an overview of antenna technologies including fundamentals of operation and a survey of various antenna technologies for use in wide-ranging EMS applications.
