Microwave Antenna Polarizer
Jenkins Defence Engineering came to Composite
Creations looking to produce
cylindrical microwave antenna polarizers for the
Australian Navy submarines
There were some problems with previously
produced polarizers, which we were able to
resolve. This involved a complete change to the
construction method and redrafting of the
construction plans.
We initially produced a single prototype unit
using pre-impregnated fibres and PCB's which was
delivered to Jenkins for testing. It passed with
honours !
Composite Creations was than contracted to
produce a number of these polarizers
and train Jenkins Defence staff in correct
methods of laminating them to the antenna assembly.
Following the success with the cylindrical
polarizers we were again contacted by Jenkins
Defence to repair a pair of semi-circular
polarizers for an Australian Navy frigate.
