Patent number: 11600908Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms to provide satellite communication functionality with an antenna assembly. In an embodiment, a communication device includes an antenna panel (comprising one or more holographic antenna elements), a housing and hardware interfaces which facilitate operation of the communication device has a module of the antenna display. A cross-sectional profile of the housing may conform to a polygon other than any rectangle. A configuration of the housing and hardware interfaces may facilitate the formation of an antenna assembly arrangement other than that of any rectilinear array. In another embodiment, communication devices of the antenna assembly each conform to a triangle or a hexagon.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: KYMETA CORPORATIONInventors: David Fotheringham, Adam Nonis, Tom Freeman, Mersad Cavcic, David Levesque

Patent number: 11569584Abstract: Antennas such as flat panel, leaky wave antennas with directional coupler feeds and waveguides are disclosed. In one example, an antenna includes a surface having antenna elements, a guided wave transmission line, and a coupling surface. The guided wave transmission line provides a guided feed wave. The coupling surface is between and separates the guided wave transmission line and the surface having antenna elements. The coupling surface controls coupling of the guided feed wave to the antenna elements. The coupling surface can also spatially filter the guided feed wave to provide a more uniform power density for the antenna elements. The guided feed wave can be a high power density electromagnetic wave or a density radially decaying electromagnetic wave.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: KYMETA CORPORATIONInventors: Benjamin Sikes, Erik Shipton, David Levesque, Mohsen Sazegar, Ryan Stevenson, Chris M.

Publication number: 20220136836Abstract: This document discloses methods by which an electronic device may determine a navigable path to a destination in an indoor environment without requiring data from any location-based tracking system that is external to the electronic device. The device will receive a graph representation of a map of the indoor environment, with instances of objects represented as nodes of the graph, and with open area paths represented as edges of the graph. The device will determine multiple candidate paths from a starting location to the destination location. Each of the candidate paths will include a set of node-edge combinations that extend from the starting location to the destination location. The processor will identify which of the candidate paths is a shortest path, and it will use that path to identify a navigable path to the destination.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Fritz Francis Ebner, Matthew David Levesque, Aaron Zachary Borden, Matthew Dylan Coene
