  • Patch antenna element with parasitic feed probe
    Patent number: 10186775
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to a patch antenna. Portions of a patch antenna, such as a patch antenna element and a probe feed wire can produce an impedance that is undesirable. To compensate for this, a parasitic feed pad can be aligned with the patch antenna element to create a capacitor. This capacitor produces a capacitance that negates the impedance. It can be preferred for the capacitance to be such that there is no excess capacitance and no excess impedance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 11, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 22, 2019
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Timothy Bocskor, Shuguang Chen, Mahmoud Khalil
  • Distributed antenna array
    Patent number: 10079437
    Abstract: Various embodiments are described that relate to co-polarization between a first antenna and a second antenna. The first antenna and second antenna can be configured such that co-polarization between the two is increased (e.g., maximized) while cross-polarization is decreased (e.g., minimized). This can be accomplished by physical orientation of the first antenna against the second antenna and/or through powering the first antenna and second antenna differently with phase delay.
