Abstract: The use of phased array antennas in ground based or low altitude user equipment linked to high altitude aerial platforms also utilizing sparse phased-array antennas (uniform and non-uniform), which enables the delivery of information services, including telecommunications, earth observation, astronomical and positioning services with higher data rates, lower weight, power consumption and sidelobe levels than for other antenna arrangements.

Abstract: An unmanned high altitude aircraft operating above 15 km with transmitting and/or receiving antennas, enclosed or more than half enclosed on a projected area basis normal to the plane of the antenna(s), in a wing structure where the chord length of the wing section enclosing the phased arrays or horn antennas is at least 30 percent greater than the mean wing chord length, and the wing surface adjacent to the antenna(s) in the path of the electromagnetic radiation being received or transmitted by the antenna(s) is substantially composed of material relatively transparent to this radiation.
