The lecture covers three major areas of airborne microwave antennas, namely: 1) Missile conformal telemetry/telecommand and radar-fuze antennas; 2) Missile and aircraft nose radar flatplate antennas and 3) Aircraft Electronic Warfare antennas. In Section 1, the basic system environment for missile telemetry/telecommand and fuze functions is sketched and the basic antenna design together with practical examples are discussed. In Section 2, the principle requirements of modern nose-radar flat plate antennas are shown to result from missile/aircraft system requirements. Basic principles of slotted waveguide antenna arrays are sketched and practical antenna designs are discussed. In Section 3, the present EW-system designs are sketched to point out requirements and performance of practical radar warning and jamming antennas (broadband spiral antennas and horn-radiators). With respect to newer developments in the ECM scenario, some demonstrated and proposed antenna systems (lens-fed arrays, phased array, active array) are discussed.
