Description

Notch is proposing a long-range, transmitting antenna for microwave radiant energy transfer that is low SWaP-C and has capabilities similar to phased arrays. Notch is proposing an electronically controlled metasurface antenna that acts has all the benefits of a phased array and parabolic dish combined. It will be designed to be integrated on a moving platform both on the ground and in the air. Metasurfaces integrated in the fuselage of a UAV will also be used to concentrate the microwave power beamed to an onboard rectenna array. Notch believes that its low SWaP metasurface transmitter antenna and metamaterial integrated fuselage will have the ability to maximally deliver deliver kilowatts of power for ranges greater than 100m.
