▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - Communication tarpaulin (100) comprises a textile layer, a multiple antenna elements (106), and a communications hub (110), which comprises a multiple radio frequency (RF) connectors. The communications hub is affixed to the textile layer. The RF connectors are each conductively coupled to one of the antenna elements, and demountably receive a communications device. The antenna elements are each affixed to the textile layer, and each comprises a conductive composition. USE - Communications tarpaulin used for protecting partially built or damaged structures and to form temporary structures, and also used in a variety of ways to protect persons and things from rain, sleet, snow, sunlight, and wind. ADVANTAGE - The communications tarpaulins are configured to conform to the shape of the structure attached to and reduce the identifiable visual signature. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for preparing a communications tarpaulin, which involves: forming a textile layer; forming multiple antenna elements that each comprise a conductive composition; forming a communications hub that comprises multiple radio frequency (RF) connectors that each receive a communications device; conductively coupling each RF connector to an antenna element; affixing the communications hub to the textile layer; and affixing the antenna elements to the textile layer. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a block diagram of a communications tarpaulin communicatively coupled to a communications device. 100Tarpaulin 106Antenna element 106Antenna elements 110Communications hub 120RF connector
