  • Radome structure, protected radiation-active system and methods for using the same
    Patent number: 10693225
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a layered structure for a radome for use with radiation of a free space frequency. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a layer structure for a radome having a core with an inside surface and an exposed outside surface. The core includes a first core layer having a first relative permittivity of at least 2.3 and a second core layer having a second relative permittivity of at least 2.3. The first core layer is no more than 0.75 mm from the outside surface of the core. An inner structure is disposed on the inside surface of the core and has at least one layer. Each of the first relative permittivity and second relative permittivity is at least 0.4 greater (e.g., at least 0.7 greater, at least 1 greater, or at least 1.3 greater) than a relative permittivity of any layer in the inner structure.

  • Electronically pivotable array antenna with broadcast-based control
    Patent number: 10693229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a phased array antenna (10) with an electronically variable antenna pattern, wherein control signals for at least two phased antenna elements (13) are processed for a broadcast transmission and are broadcast to the phased antenna elements (13) via a wireless medium or using feed lines for useful signal components of the phased antenna elements in a frequency band differing from the frequency band of the useful signal components. As a result of using the broadcast transmission in a different frequency band, there is no need for any additional signals or lines for the array antenna, and the complexity of the array antenna can be reduced and the flexibility and reconfigurability can be improved.
