2 APPLIED EM is a pioneer in innovative compact antenna designs for commercial and defense applications. In collaboration with universities and industry partners, Applied EM specializes in developing small form factor antennas that reliably perform in relatively low VHF/UHF frequencies. Applied EM s product line includes state of the art compact broadband antennas that cover 100MHz to 18GHz, compact direction finding antennas for VHF/UHF bands and compact GPS/Anti-Jam GPS antennas. Applied EM also developed novel paint-on antenna technology for conformal applications. Custom designs are available for OEM production. Applied EM also develops innovative electromagnetic simulation tools using asymptotic computational techniques. Applied EM offers engineering services to adapt our antennas to meet your MIL STD 810 or RTCA DO 160 compliance requirements.

5 COMPACT GPS/ANTI JAM GPS ANTENNAS Why Compact GPS/Anti Jam GPS Antennas? Unmanned Vehicles are being developed for everything these days. The size, weight, and power of your antenna are going to determine how long, how far, and how powerful your unmanned vehicle can go. Unless your platform has an Anti Jam GPS antenna, one simple, easy to make, high power jammer can wipe out your navigation system. Most Anti Jam GPS antennas are huge and have high cross coupling between ports. Applied EM s antennas fit standard antenna footprints while giving configurable radiation patterns to mitigate multiple GPS jammers. 5

10 COMPOSITE/METALLIC PLATFORM PAINT ON ANTENNAS Why Paint on Antennas? Applied EM can paint these antennas on a panel that is installed on your platform or directly onto your platform using our proprietary Robotic Painting Process. Conductive Paint is applied to a Fiberglass or Painted Substrate and also attached to a connector to make these practically weightless and No Profile antennas. 10

15 COMPACT BROADBAND ANTENNAS Why Are Compact Broadband Antennas so Important? Most antennas are cheap, whip or blade antennas that only cover one or two frequency bands. This means you need more antennas, more platform space, more weight, antenna cross coupling planning, and your platform to look like a porcupine just to do the same thing as what you can do with one Applied EM antenna. An aircraft designed to fly at 20,000 feet can have the same RF performance at ~22,440 feet using an antenna with only 1 db higher gain. Circularly polarized antennas can also communicate with whip, blade, or other linearly polarized antennas with only about 3 db of lower gain. 15
