Abstract
An antenna (100) applied to a structure (200), the antenna (100) comprising a series of conductive and dielectric coatings. A conductive coating backplane or ground plane (110) is applied to a substrate structure (200), a non-conductive dielectric coating (120) is applied over the outer surface of the conductive coating backplane or ground plane (202), and a conductive coating patch, microstrip array or radiating element (130) is applied over the outer surface of the dielectric coating (120b). The pin of a coaxial cable (304) extends through the conductive coating backplane (110), the dielectric coating (120), and the conductive coating patch (130), for transmission of a signal from the antenna (100). The method allows for the non-destructive application of antennas on existing platforms for receiving and transmitting electromagnetic signals.
