Goal: Decrease antenna phasing dimension without decreasing its performance.
MOTIVATION: Structural cavity backed antenna depth reduction.

 

Cavity-backed crossed-dipoles over ground plane VP/L antenna. /4 cavity resonance at 492 MHz.

APPROACH: Develop and use low loss, high refractive index, matched material i.e. MetaFerrite to fill the cavity.
