Abstract

This report contains a survey of antennas for the radio system GTRS and a prediction of the development in the near future which may be relevant. Both separate antennas and arrays, i.e. for MIMO, are discussed. The frequency bands are primarily 225 - 400 MHz and 30 - 88 MHz. The antennas are primarily intended to be mounted on a ground vehicle or carried by a soldier.
