Abstract

The EMI/EMC issues associated with implementation of the Airborne Communication Node (ACN) payload on the Global Hawk Unmanned Air Vehicle are explored. Two ACN subsystems are evaluated in greater detail, the Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) and a commercial based personal communication system. A novel antenna design for SINCGARS is defined. A VHF variant of existing commercial cell and paging technology is described with an appropriate antenna.
