Abstract

A fractal-antenna based system with radar-like detection and communication comprises a fractal antenna array that transmits and receives EM radiation ranging from high frequency (HF) to ultralow frequency (ULF), a phase shifter coupled to the fractal antenna array, a pulse generator coupled to the phase shifter, and a host computer coupled to the phase shifter and the pulse generator. The host computer is configured to: i) control the pulse generator to craft a transmitted wave of selected shape in the time domain, with the ability to enable active defensive measures or detection-only modes, ii) control the phase shifter and antenna to cause radiation to sweep across a coverage radius of at least 5 kilometers, iii) analyze signals received by the fractal antenna array to detect the location and speed of reflective objects in the coverage area, and activate countermeasures based on the location and speed of a detected reflective object.
