Abstract
The presented UHF DF slot antenna design shows no degradation of the DF error and expected 3 dB (typical) in sensitivity only when compared to the DF antenna design in. This shows that the broadband slot antenna design, introduced in this paper, can be used for conformal direction finding antennas. This conformal DF antennas are integrated into the structure of modern platforms, which have an optimized low radar cross section.
