Patents by Inventor Allan R. Jablon

Allan R. Jablon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10601139
    Abstract: Example apparatuses and methods relating to antennas are provided. An example apparatus in the form of an antenna assembly includes a first conductor formed into a first helical structure wound around a central axis and a second conductor formed into a second helical structure wound around the central axis. The first helical structure may have a first coil sense and the second helical structure may have second coil sense that is opposite the first coil sense. The first conductor may have a first conductor proximal end and a first conductor distal end and the second conductor may have a second conductor proximal end and a second conductor distal end. The first conductor distal end may be adjacent the second conductor proximal end. The antenna assembly may further include first, second, and third ground planes with one disposed at each end of the conductors and one disposed between the conductors.

  • Patent number: 10044108
    Abstract: Example apparatuses and methods relating to antennas are provided. An example apparatus in the form of an antenna assembly includes a first conductor structurally formed into a plurality of first conductor structural waves and a second conductor structurally formed into a plurality of second conductor structural waves. The first conductor and second conductor may be helically wound to form a bifilar helix structure having a proximal end and a distal end. The first conductor and the second conductor may be operatively coupled at the proximal end of the bifilar helix structure to form a signal feed point, and the first conductor and the second conductor are operatively coupled at the distal end of the bifilar helix structure to form a load point.
