An apparatus includes: a GPS phased array comprising a plurality of DBFEs, wherein at least one of the DBFEs includes: an antenna configured to transmit a GPS signal; an RF electronics section operably connected to the antenna and digital electronics sections; and a digital electronics section operably connected an RF electronic section; a navigation encoder and frequency generator (NEFU) unit operably connected to the GPS phased array; and an atomic frequency standard operably connected to the NEFU unit.
Abstract:
A dipole antenna comprises N dipole elements spaced along a dimension of the antenna, each dipole element including a pair of electrically conductive structures and 2N electronic networks each coupled to a corresponding electrically conductive structure of an associated dipole element to form N pairs of electronic networks wherein each electronic network includes a port. The electrically conductive structures are electrically isolated from one another.
