In this project, we propose to work on the research and development of conformal beamforming array (CBA) that will be tested on a fuselage/wing portion of a small surveillance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or a commercial UAV model. The traditional design philosophy is to use a planar array with the required performance and warp the array to fit the constraints with little to no consideration of the change in inter element coupling and underlying performance. The proposed CBA can also be used in passive radar for the detection of low flying objects and will be able to perform beam-steering and null-steering simultaneously.
The proposed CBA system will be scalable (both in terms of frequency, and size of the conformal array), having adaptive beamforming capabilities (without human intervention), efficient and will be designed specifically for aerial platform structures. Moreover, the CBA developed can be used in many commercial/defense applications, for example,
1) On the skin of an automobile for safe driving through alert messages/automatic brakes control using its beamforming capability,
2) On a cellular base station to increase the network coverage/capacity,
3) Access points in a broadband networks to achieve higher date rates,
4) Body area networks, and
5) Data transmission clothing.
