Abstract
A deployable manpack antenna assembly comprises a transceiver antenna unit, a first support rod, a flexible conduit connector, a second support rod, a base unit, a latching unit, a clamping unit, and at least two sleeve retainer stops. The deployable manpack antenna assembly is configured for use in military applications, particularly relating to ground-party communications systems intended to be used in both communications-at-the-halt (CATH) and communications-on-the-move (COTM). The manpack antenna assembly operates in Ku, K and Ka bands for soldiers in the battlefield. The manpack antenna assembly comprises one of the two antennas, a biconical variant antenna, or an inverted-F variant antenna, both of which operate at Ku-band, K-band, and Ka-band simultaneously. The manpack antenna assembly boasts several features, including antenna deployment from folded to unfolded configurations, compact size, low mass, near 4π steradians coverage, low cost, wide bandwidth performance, and built-in radome for protection from severe environmental conditions.
