Abstract
A log periodic antenna is used in a communication system that utilizes multiple channels to drive distinct frequency sub-bands within an ultra-wide band. The driving elements are active and specifically tuned to the operating sub-band of the channel. Each driving element may be synchronized via a single local oscillator. Driving element includes a modem and analog-to-digital converters to digitize a portion of the signal intended for the sub-band within the channel. Actively driven log periodic antennas can jam an ultra-wide band of the spectrum.
