Abstract:
Broadband tactical antenna along with its connecting module has been designed to operate with maximum gain and excellent impedance matching. A single broadband tactical antenna has been developed to cover the complete range of VHF and UHF frequencies of M3TR transceiver. New techniques for maximum gain and impedance matching were implemented. Several techniques were to increase the bandwidth of the antenna by varying length, radius, material and antenna types. Antenna covers the desired frequency range and can be used with the M3TR transceiver. The antenna design is composed of the antenna and connecting unit. A new compact antenna design is able to be used with manpack, vehicular and fixed station of the M3TR transceiver.
