  • Modular and stackable antenna array
    Patent number: 11437732
    Abstract: A modular phased array antenna that includes a plurality of modular antenna array blocks assembled together as a single antenna array and an array face having an array plate and a radiator and radome assembly for each modular block interlocked and aligned to create a single monolithic array face. Each modular antenna array block includes: a plurality of transmit/receive integrated multichannel module (TRIMM) cards, each TRIMM card including power and beamforming signals, where power and beamforming signals are connected in parallel to each modular antenna array block, a plurality of radiators for radiating antenna signals having a radiator face, a radome integrated with the plurality of radiators and interfacing directly to the radiator face, where the radome does not extend beyond the radiator face, and a frame for supporting the TRIMM cards.

  • Aerodynamic fairing and flap for generating lift and methods of using the same
    Patent number: 9114863
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices and methods for powering a craft by aerodynamic forces. The device features a fairing member and flap element in which the flap element has a first flap position which creates a aerofoil contour on one face of the fairing member, and a second position in which the flap element presents an interrupted surface on both sides of the aerofoil to direct the fairing member in a non-power position without oscillation.
