3. Introduction on Software Defined Antennas
(SDA)
• The UWB antennas allow the software defined radio to receive a
wide range of frequencies using just one antenna / element per
reception site which is termed as “Software Defined Radios”.
• SDA are a "notable" topic, suitable for inclusion in Research. SDA has
received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.
• Two patents, in 2009 & 2004, and recent articles published in IEEE
Journals.
• U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a series of SDA research
contracts.
4. Summary of the proposed project
• Main summary is to investigate the feasibility of a single re-
configurable structure comprising multiple radiating sections,
described as a “Software Defined Antenna.”
• It also allows frequency of operation, polarization and radiation
patterns to be varied to suit different radio systems.
• Which also provides with multiple input feeds, simultaneous
operation of several radio systems from one unit.

6. Target Frequencies And Applications For The SDA- Table 1
Nominal Frequency Application Polarisation
75MHz Tactical VHF Linear, vertical
150MHz Tactical VHF Linear, vertical
400MHz Line of Sight Voice Communications
e.g. TETRA or UHF Military Communications
Linear, vertical
1.3GHz Video Downlink from manned aircraft or UAVs Linear, vertical
1.575GHz GPS RHCP
1.6GHz L-Band Satellite Communications e.g. Iridium RHCP
2.4GHz Line of Sight WiFi Network
e.g. Tactical Information Systems
Linear, vertical
And much more frequency band
7. Background of research
• The two main sections within this SDA design are:
An outer helix.
An inner, vertical rod.
Fig. 2 EM Model of the SDA.
The Method of Moments (MoM)
technique was applied. The MoM is
an accurate and rigorous tool and is
often used as the benchmark for
validation exercises of other EM
codes.

10. Objectives of research work
• To investigate the feasibility of a single re-configurable structure
comprising multiple radiating sections.
• To operate for various frequency of operation.
• Various polarisation which suits for different radio systems.
• Various radiation patterns which suits for different radio systems.
11. Methodology or Approach intended to be adopted
in the execution of the research
• Axial Mode Helix to be used for 1.6GHz
• Normal Mode Helix to be used for 150MHz
• Inner Rod to be used for 400GHz
• Vertical Element to be used for 2.4GHz
12. Expected outcome:
• Antenna gain commensurate with single antenna counterparts.
• Omni-directional azimuth radiation patterns for the line of sight linear
elements.
• Ability to tune over a band of frequencies, not just the nominal spot
frequencies listed above.
• A need to satisfy the radio system requirements for isolation between
radiating sections.
• An effective method of switching and re-configuring the structure,
noting specifically the need for switching
• Speed, switch control power and RF power handling.
