Description

In this SBIR Phase I program, Metamagnetics will develop an advanced wideband, conformal magnetic flux-channel antenna based on novel magnetic nanomaterials. Through the design, synthesis, and fabrication of proprietary high-performance magnetic materials, Metamagnetics will enable a new generation of high-gain, wideband, and low-profile, conformal antenna solutions for HF, VHF, and UHF communications. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of achieving conformal, frequency independent geometries without adversely affecting the permeability and loss characteristics of traditional high-permeable magnetic materials for high-performance magnetic flux-channel antennas.
