ABSTRACT:
The data-link and antenna selection assembly combines a group of conformal ntenna arrays with radio frequency (RF) detection, control and switching circuitry to provide up to 360 degrees of azimuth coverage for an aerial or terrestrial vehicle. The signal monitoring comprises signal detection and determination of signal frequency and strength. These are input to a switching controller which selects the best receive path and transmit path as a function of received signal frequency and strength. Use of conformal antenna arrays eliminates the requirement for cumbersome mechanical positioners.
