Patent number: 11973274Abstract: A single-switch-per-bit topology for reconfigurable reflective surfaces (RRSs) is provided. Novel multi-bit unit-cell configurations are presented for radio-frequency (RF) RRSs with improved radiation efficiency and compact designs. Embodiments described herein realize a multi-bit RRS using an antenna array with multiple integrated switches at the ports of every antenna element (e.g., one at each port, providing one control bit per switch). By manipulating the states of the switches, the impinging waves on the surface are modulated, leading to beamforming in the desired direction. Some embodiments utilize a single switch-per-bit topology integrating single-pole-single-throw (SPST) switches (e.g., PIN diodes) into the unit-cell design, achieving up to 4 bits of phase quantization with only 4 switches. The exhibited radiation efficiency of the multi-bit RRS is significantly improved compared to lower bit configurations.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State UniversityInventors: Panagiotis Theofanopoulos, Georgios Trichopoulos

Patent number: 11973339Abstract: A T-breaker is an all-in-one solution for dc microgrid fault protection, power flow control, and power quality improvement. A T-breaker features a modular multilevel “T” structure with integrated energy storage devices. The two horizontal arms of the T-breaker realize fault current breaking, load voltage compensation, and power flow control; and the vertical arm of the T-breaker realizes shunt compensation. The configuration provides excellent voltage scalability and relaxes the requirements on the switching signal synchronization during fault transients. The local energy storage in sub-modules eases the fault energy dissipation requirement placed on the traditionally-adopted surge arrestors. The modular multilevel structure also offers immense control flexibility for all types of targeted functions of the provided T-breaker.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Ohio State Innovation FoundationInventors: Jin Wang, Risha Na, Yue Zhang
