Blade antennas are thin, aerodynamically-profiled structure fins mounted externally on aircraft, helicopters, or unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). They provide excellent radiation performance while minimizing mechanical drag and standing up to extreme wind velocity shear forces.
Conformal antennas are flat, microstrip array configurations synthesized to curve and wrap flush against the airframe skin itself. Aerodynamically, the antenna practically "disappears," making conformal elements highly desirable for high-speed UAV tracking, air-to-ground telemetry, and stealth applications.
PhaseAmp Labs designs custom blade and conformal antennas tailored dynamically to the structural contours of your vehicle. Utilizing advanced curved-aperture simulation algorithms refined through our team's DRDO conformal array background, we ensure optimal radiation coverage patterns are maintained despite the curved mounting constraints.
"When an antenna needs to disappear into an airframe without disappearing in performance — our blade and conformal designs deliver. Engineered per-platform, simulated installed-on-airframe, and validated on our test range."
