China shrinks jet antenna to 0.047 times wavelength to boost fighter’s stealth power
SMRTR summary
Chinese researchers have created an ultra-wideband circular ring antenna for stealth fighter jets. With an exceptionally low profile of 0.047 times the low-frequency wavelength and a 12:1 impedance bandwidth, it improves integration with aircraft structures, enhancing stealth capabilities and aerodynamics. The antenna's design features a circular configuration, extended current path, and resistive frequency-selective surface, potentially advancing stealth technology and secure military communications.
