SI2 Technologies proposes to leverage its experience in the design of broadband, low profile array antennas to develop an ultra wideband (UWB) array to operate from 300 3000 MHz for an improved forward looking ground penetrating radar (FLGPR) array. SI2s proposed UWB array is based on proven technology, and will feature reduced element spacing to eliminate issues associated with aliasing, excellent pattern stability and polarization purity across the entire operating band, and lightweight construction. In Phase I, SI2 will design and fabricate a small scale array to validate the proof-of-concept. In Phase II, SI2 will design and fabricate a large scale prototype to be integrated with FLGPR electronics for system level test and evaluation.
