Underwater Communication and Detection

Antenna Systems for Reliable Docking of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

  • An out-of-line series feed slot (OLSFS) antenna operating at 2.4 GHz, wrapped around the cylindrical shape of a docking station and a deep profiler (DP).

  • A novel circularly polarized loaded waveguide antenna operating in the lower part of the UHF band, enabling longer-range (decimeter-scale) undersea communication.
