The solution was to re-band an existing Ku-band earth-station antenna for X-band operation. BAE Systems Australia and DSTO worked closely to meet a very tight delivery deadline. The initial requirement was for a receive capability but the new antenna feed system has been designed so that a transmit capability can be added when needed.","PeriodicalId":128822,"journal":{"name":"2011 Military Communications and Information Systems Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131497402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Environmental electromagnetic noise and its limitation on the underwater communication range of various antennas are examined. Submarine communication and heuristic models of antenna types are presented, together with supporting experimental validation, and practical comment is made on potential range and bandwidth capabilities of generic antenna systems, and on current directions of research and development, including high frequency and dual mode subsea communications.","PeriodicalId":128822,"journal":{"name":"2011 Military Communications and Information Systems Conference","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127629942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
