Ultra-wideband RF helmet antenna
Abstract
This paper addresses the development of an ultra-wideband, vertically polarized communications antenna integrated into the camouflage cover of a standard military-issue Kevlar helmet. The Helmet Camouflage Cover Antenna (referred to as the “helmet antenna’y is one of three antennas based on the antenna COMbat Wear INtegration (COMWIN) concept developed at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) for the man -portable implementation of the new Joint Tactical Radio System
(JTRS). The results of computer simulations and proto type measurements for the helmet antenna are presented.
