Abstract
A datalink such as used on high-speed vehicles (missiles, guided-projectiles, manned or unmanned aircraft) includes an integrated conformal antenna array and out-of-band rejection filter for use with an RF radio. Integration of a single rejection filter between the EME power received by the antenna array and the coaxial RF connector effectively protects the connector as well as the radio. The connector can now be designed based solely on the transmit power requirements of the radio. The resultant connector is smaller and takes up less space inside the vehicle.
