Abstract
The invention is a modular buoyant cable antenna that is towed on the surface of a body of water by a submerged underwater vehicle to allow communication coverage in an omnidirectional pattern that is also compatible with existing buoyant cable antenna deployment and retrieval systems. The antenna of the present invention comprises a floating cable having four identical antenna elements that are arranged in a cross configuration. The antenna uses the sea surface as a ground plane providing good antenna gain levels. The antenna is designed with an integrated impedance matching network to maximize radiation efficiency.
