R&D World Magazine has recognized Southwest Research Institute’s Wideband Conformal Continuous-Slot Antenna Array as one of the 100 most significant innovations for 2023. The Wideband Conformal Continuous-Slot Antenna Array technology provides naval ships with high-performance, high-frequency radio frequency direction-finding (DF) and signal acquisition while conforming around shipboard-supporting mast structures. Modern-day DF systems determine the direction of enemy combatants and provide situational awareness and serve to locate emergency transponders for search-and-rescue operations. The Wideband Conformal Continuous-Slot Antenna Array, released as part of SwRI’s AS-750 family of advanced antenna arrays, overcomes the performance issues commonly encountered at higher frequencies. The array was designed using electromagnetic modeling software and takes inspiration from an unorthodox concept for a wideband antenna array originally conceived by electronics engineer Harold Wheeler in 1948, which until now was largely theoretical.
