Abstract

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is funding a GPS adaptive antenna array using high temperature superconductor (HTS) technology. This adaptive antenna array is designed to null multiple GPS jammers, while being considerably smaller in size than conventional adaptive arrays. The combination of these two requirements can be satisfied only through the unique properties of thin film HTS antenna elements and circuits. A packaged, ruggedized, multielement HTS based, GPS antenna is discussed
