  • ANTENNA SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220368020
    Abstract: An antenna system comprises a substrate, an antenna positioned on the substrate, and a circuit component positioned on the substrate. The antenna is positioned on a first surface of the substrate and operable to emit a radiation pattern. The circuit component is positioned on the substrate in a null region of the radiation pattern. The thickness of portions of the substrate are modified to achieve a desired performance characteristic of the antenna.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 15, 2022
    Publication date: November 17, 2022
    Applicant: Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC
    Inventors: Kyle J. Byers, Brian C. Rutherford, Matt Clewell

  • Systems and methods for generating pulsed output signals using a gated RF oscillator circuit
    Patent number: 8665035
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating pulsed output signals that employ a gated RF oscillator circuit having an output that is switchably grounded through the emitter of a transistor and including feedback from the output of the circuit to the base of the transistor to create oscillations and to allow a digital input pulse of a desired length to control the start and stop of oscillations created by the transistor.
