UTILITY DEVELOPMENT CORP SBIR Phase I Award, August 2018

The objective will be to develop and fabricate wideband low loss radome that can efficiently pass X-Ku Band frequencies for very large antenna applications. UDC will fabricate flat panels of the leading electromagnetic radome material candidates. Physical, electrical and magnetic properties will be tested in accordance with ASTM for up to 150F use and 180F survive temperature. UDC will prove the feasibility and potential advantages of the new formulations and manufacturing process during the Phase I program. Panels of the new composites will be delivered to the sponsoring agency at the end of the Phase I program. A report with results and conclusions will be submitted at the end of Phase I program.
