The Next Generation of Covert Antennas: A New Design Increases Flexibility and Maximizes Performance

As the capabilities of tactical radios continue to deliver greater advantages to the war-fighter, the need for advanced antennas to complement these powerful devices grows as well.Progress has been made in recent years to reduce the size of antennas, increasing their flexibility, and providing support for wider frequency bands. Of particular interest to Special Operations Forces (SOF) is the ergonomic and performance innovation in the area of covert Body-Worn Antennas (BWAs).

This paper examines specific covert BWA capabilities that meet the mission needs of the SOF community. It also discusses a new approach to their design–one emphasizing flexibility, ease of connection, and consistency of performance across multiple frequency bands without signal loss.
