Problem Statement

Developing HF communication systems is challenging due to problems like severe channel fading, relatively low data transmission rates, changes in the ionosphere, rotation of the polarization, variation in ionospheric signal absorption, etc.  Normally in HF communication systems Wire antenna with full loop and half-loop antennas configuration are widely used analog with the antenna matching unit, which is a critical part of the system.  Currently, the industry imports the antennas, and this development of communication antennas enable the indigenous development of antennas for future radio communication systems.

Objective of the project

The objective of this project is to design Half Loop antennas for operation over 2MHz to 30MHz along with the Antenna Matching unit (AMU) frequency band as required by HF radio Communication systems.
