The proposed Phase II effort is an important step towards continued commercialization of broadband communication and ESM antennas for military and civilian use. There is a significant civilian market for low cost communication antennas, particularly for mobile satellite communications applications. There is a clear market pull for advanced communication antennas for both military electronics and the commercial broadband wireless and satellite communications arena. The key features offered by fragmented aperture and fragmented volume antennas are extremely low cost and versatility over a wide range of frequencies by virtue of the wide tunability 0x9D of the devices. We are confident that this metamaterial reconfigurable common aperture antenna project can help achieve an instant market through numerous applications in the Military and Homeland Security markets.
