Patent number: 7006794Abstract: A wireless communication system that provides energy efficient, high bandwidth and low cost wireless communication. In one embodiment, the communication system utilizes a fan out, pencil beam arrangement in which electro-magnetic energy is transmitted from a hub to customer premises equipment (CPE) with a fan or similar antenna and from the CPEs to the hub via pencil beam antennas. The pencil beam antennas provided higher link margin. The hub may include a shared aperture antenna device for receiving pencil beam transmissions from the CPEs. A shared aperture antenna device may also be used for transmission from the hub to the CPEs.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2000Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Endwave CorporationInventors: Douglas G. Lockie, Edward A. Keible, Clifford A. Mohwinkel

Patent number: 6052582Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention is a communications apparatus which includes a first transmitting antenna array (15A) having a transmitting antenna (16) which is dedicated to serve only a first sector (12). Similarly, a second transmitting antenna array (17A) having a transmitting antenna (18) is dedicated to serve only a second sector (14). Each of the transmitting antenna arrays (15A, 17A) have a beamwidth (19) of generally less than fifteen degrees. Both the first and the second transmitting antenna arrays (15A, 17A) emanate shaped beams which are alternately polarized to ensure the isolation of beams that serve adjacent sectors.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1998Date of Patent: April 18, 2000Assignee: Endlink CorporationInventors: Raymond R. Blasing, Edward A. Keible, Paul Likins, Douglas G. Lockie, Clifford A. Mohwinkel

Patent number: 5491449Abstract: A Dual-Sided Push-Pull Amplifier for providing a high-gain yet low-cost amplifier capable of operating at frequencies extending above 1 GHz is disclosed. The present invention may be used in any application in which low cost amplification may be desired, including transmitters, antenna arrays, radars, light wave modulators, mixers, local oscillators, driver amplifiers and microwave ovens. One of the preferred embodiments of the invention (10d/10e) utilizes two pairs of field effect transistors (FETs) (22U and 22L & 24U and 24L) mounted in registration on both faces (12a & 12b) of a dual-sided dielectric substrate (12). The sources (22US and 22LS & 24US and 24US) on both faces of the FETs (22 & 24) are electrically coupled and are located at a minimum distance from their mates on the opposite faces of the substrate (12) to reduce inter-FET source lead inductance. The FETs (22 & 24) are coupled to a set of conductors (16a, 16b, 16c & 16d) which are formed on the substrate (12).Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1993Date of Patent: February 13, 1996Assignee: Endgate Technology CorporationInventors: Edwin F. Johnson, Douglas G. Lockie, Clifford A. Mohwinkel

Patent number: 5455594Abstract: An array antenna includes a means of thermally isolating the feed network from the space illuminated by the antenna. Filtering layers are incorporated into the structure between the feed and the radiating patches. These filtering layers are transparent to radiation in the frequency range of operation of the antenna, primarily microwaves and millimeter waves, but reflect much shorter wavelengths such as infrared and visible light. This rejection of short wavelengths results in reduced heating of the feed network and so to a reduced heat load on a cooling system. One preferred embodiment employs the radiation shield to advantage by incorporating superconductive elements in the antenna. These elements can be cooled efficiently enough to be practical due to the rejection of heat by the incorporated filtering layers.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1994Date of Patent: October 3, 1995Assignee: Conductus, Inc.Inventors: Raymond R. Blasing, Edwin F. Johnson, Douglas G. Lockie, Cliff Mohwinkel, Barry Whalen, Richard S. Withers
