Abstract :
This paper discusses the design, simulation, and measurement of a transparent S band feed network. Results from integration tests of the feed network is shown. Measurements of the antenna array integrated with the transparent feed networks is shown. These measurements demonstrates that the feed networks allow the arrays to function as an antenna while maintaining the transmission coefficient necessary for nested antennas.
