Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to intelligently employ antenna resources in a manner that may reduce interference between communications signals even in instances where multiple separate frequency band communications need to be supported in a vehicle of limited size. A manifold antenna system is proposed that provides a scheme and a physical construct whereby multiple individual radio receiver/transmitter units may share a limited number of transmitting and receiving antennas. The disclosed manifold antenna system is particularly adaptable to aircraft, spacecraft, vessel or vehicle applications where there is limited room for mounting a number of individual antennas as may be needed to support each radio receiver/transmitter unit in an effort to minimize an amount of interference as is conventionally caused by having transmitting antennas located in too close a proximity to receiving antennas.
