Abstract: An electrical gasket provides an electrical seal between first and second components in an electrical module. The electrical gasket includes an attachment portion for fixedly attaching the electrical gasket to one of the first and second components and a plurality of spring members for engaging the other of the first and second components to make mechanical and electrical contact between the first and second components such that the electrical seal is provided between the first and second electrical components. One of the components of the module can be an EMI shield or printed circuit board of the module, and another of the components can be the module housing.

Abstract: A low profile antenna array for UWB radar antenna applications is disclosed. It may be used as a mid-range receiving antenna array (RXM) or as a mid-range transmitting antenna array (TXM). In some embodiments, the RXM or the TXM may include a plurality of radiation patch elements formed on a top layer of a printed circuit board (PCB), a distribution feeding network in the mid-layer of the PCB having a patch array, and a serial feeding arrangement from a ?/4 coupling slot to each feeding patch. This antenna may have a desirable large frequency bandwidth with relatively flat antenna gain over a frequency range from 22 GHz to 26.5 GHz. In addition, sidelobe levels for the elevation patterns may be below ?20 dB. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling a radar antenna are provided. The method includes generating a first single beam antenna pattern, generating a second single beam antenna pattern and transmitting the first and second single beam antenna patterns. The method further includes using phase detection to determine angular information for a detected object based on a phase difference of received signals.

Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus includes a first waveguide, a second waveguide and a third waveguide. The transitions between the first, second and third waveguides are substantially co-impedance matched. The signal transmission apparatus may be a multi-port device, and may be used to transition high frequency signals from one component to another in a variety of applications.
