Patent number: 8736403Abstract: The present disclosure provides example resonance filters and methods for making the same. The resonance filter includes a first layer having n adjacent resonance cavities, n being at least 2 and said cavities each being separated from one another by a partition wall. The resonance filter also includes a second layer having at least n?1 coupling cavities. The cavities in the first layer are formed as resonance cavities and those in the second layer are formed as (a) coupling cavity/cavities and are open on one side. The second layer is arranged on the first layer in such a way that the resonance cavities in the first layer are interconnected by the coupling cavity/cavities in the second layer. Further, the resonance filter is configured as a monolithic component.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2009Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: EADS Deutschland GmbHInventors: Bernhard Schönlinner, William Gautier

Patent number: 7994996Abstract: A plurality of antenna elements on a dielectric substrate are adapted to launch or receive electromagnetic waves in or from a direction substantially away from either a convex or concave edge of the dielectric substrate, wherein at least two of the antenna elements operate in different directions. Slotlines of tapered-slot endfire antennas in a first conductive layer of a first side of the dielectric substrate are coupled to microstrip lines of a second conductive layer on the second side of the dielectric substrate. A bi-conical reflector, conformal cylindrical dielectric lens, or discrete lens array improves the H-plane radiation pattern. Dipole or Yagi-Uda antenna elements on the conductive layer of the dielectric substrate can be used in cooperation with associated reflective elements, either alone or in combination with a corner-reflector of conductive plates attached to the conductive layers proximate to the endfire antenna elements.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: TK Holding Inc., ElectronicsInventors: Gabriel Rebeiz, James P.
