  • Septumless OMT polarizer
    Patent number: 11693166
    Abstract: A septumless polarizer is an OMT polarizer which is formed without a traditional thin septum which bridges the gap from the first assembly half to the second assembly half when the polarizer is split in the zero-current region of the rectangular waveguides (RHCP and LHCP ports). The septumless polarizer utilizes a dual-axis-stepped feature, which is included in one half of the polarizer only, creates the illusion of a traditional thin septum and actually improves performance. A close-proximity fastener scheme is enabled along with a fully encompassing pressure lip and contact pressure risks are mitigated.

  • Method and apparatus for interfacing ion and molecular selecting devices with an ion counter
    Patent number: 11692968
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising an ion selecting device; an individual ion counter device; and an interface device integral with the ion selecting device and downstream of an ion separating chamber of the ion selecting device. The interface device comprises a tagging particle generator and a tagging chamber. Sample gas containing ions of a selected mobility enters the tagging chamber from the ion selecting device and is exposed to uncharged neutral tagging particles from the tagging particle generator. The ions collide with the tagging particles to form a mixture of tagged ions and uncharged neutral tagging particles which is then separated in a tagged ions separator forming part of the individual ion counting device before the separated tagged ions are counted.
