  • Patent number: 9722309
    Abstract: A mobile radio antenna comprises a multi beam forming device which comprises a drivable drive element having a drive shaft and at least two output shafts. Each output shaft is substantially parallel to the drive shaft. At least one output gear is rotationally fixed to the output shaft. At least two phase shifters are each operatively connected to a respective output shaft via a respective drive device. A changeover device enables the drive element to be operatively connected selectively to at least one of the output gears.

  • Patent number: 8814709
    Abstract: A flexible shaft for torque transfer has a plurality of metal wires that are helically wound in a plurality of layers with an opposite winding direction that alternates from layer to layer. Each of the metal wires is surrounded by an electrically insulating insulation layer. The insulating layer prevents a metal-on-metal contact between adjacent metal wires and thereby prevents unwanted intermodulation products.

  • Patent number: 7510434
    Abstract: A coaxial HF plug-in connector comprises an axial bore embodied in an external conductor material on a connection side, in which an electric component is arranged. The aim is to improve the connector. For this purpose, the component in the axial bore is embodied in the form of an output branch which comprises a lower NF conductor, an internal dielectric, a balun and an external dielectric. The lower NF conductor is electrically connected to the balun base on the end of the in-plug connector connection side and to the internal conductor of the plug-in connector on the open end of the balun.
