The R&D of Low-Profile Electronically Scanned Array Antenna for Aircraft

Demand has been increasing for better mobile phone and Internet access for people on board aircraft. National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) research and develop the high performance active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna for regional jet in Ka band. This report shows the results that 16 elements array antenna was fabricated and evaluated as a fundamental study of the transmission side configuration of AESA for aircraft.
