  • Patent number: 7978143
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multiband jamming antenna for use with RF jamming systems. An exemplary embodiment of the antenna comprises high-band, medium-band and low-band radiating structures arranged in a collinear manner. The three radiating structures are operable in three respective overlapping frequency bands. In the exemplary embodiment, the high-band radiating structure comprises a hybrid biconical/dipole antenna disposed at an upper end of the antenna. The medium-band radiating structure is collinearly coupled to the high-band radiating structure and comprises upper and lower dipole elements that are tuned using a dual section coaxial transformer. The low-band radiating structure is collinearly coupled to the medium-band radiating structure. The low-band radiating structure comprises a coaxial Ruthroff UNUN transformer that is coupled to the low-band radiating structure, and a feeder cable that connected to the coaxial Ruthroff UNUN transformer, and the high-band, medium-band, and low-band radiating structures.

  • Publication number: 20100090916
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flexible vehicular antenna mount having top and bottom plates and a plurality of laterally-offset springs coupled between the top and bottom plates. Flexible bellows is secured to the top and bottom plates that encloses the laterally-offset springs. Molded rubber elements are disposed within each of the laterally-offset springs to provide dampening. The plurality of laterally-offset springs may also be offset from each other in an orthogonal direction relative to a line between them.
