Abstract

See full text

A thermal protection system integrated antenna providing a thermal protection system, a wave guide formed in the thermal protection system, and a coupling structure, wherein the coupling structure is connected to an antenna and feed structure. The thermal protection system is mounted on a platform skin of a vehicle and a portion of the thermal protection system is removed and replaced with filler material which has radio frequency transparency. A plurality of wave guides forms a phased array in the platform skin with either active or passive steering or a fixed beam. An internal waveguide path is constructed to route signals internally within the thermal protection system and through one or more apertures in a surface of the thermal protection system. The survivability of the overall antenna system is improved by the improved thermal shielding.
