This paper provides specifications and conceptual design of reentry vehicle antennas. A comparison of the types of shared aperture antennas (single cavity-multiple probe; single cavity-single probe; and multiple cavity-individual probe) is discussed. A description of the multiple cavity configuration and fabrication details are presented. Also shown are tuning conditions, VSWR vs frequency plots, isolation vs frequency plots; radiation patterns, and environmental requirements. (FI)
