Exploration of Radiating Aerostructures Ultimate Antenna and Structure Integration

Abstract

Two antenna designs are described that are both fully integrated into Fiber Metal Laminate fuselage panels. Full integration in this context means that the antennas are flush with the fuselage skin on the outside of the aero structure, while maintaining the structural properties of [...]
