Abstract:Multifunctional structures are essential parts of future air vehicles to reduce the weight and add extra capabilities. Recently, integration of various elements in the carbon fiber reinforce polymer (CFRP) panel has been the center of attention among RF and structural engineers. This paper investigates the feasibility of integrating RF transmission lines in CFRP skins. The effect of CFRP conductivity on the performance of common RF transmission lines has been studied. The results of this study suggest coaxial … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
