  • Beam forming network
    Patent number: 4864311
    Abstract: A beam forming network employing a matrix of resistive coupling elements to link individual elements E.sub.1 to E.sub.n of an antenna to the different phase terminals 3, 4, 5 and 6 of a phase combiner. Because of unwanted coupling between the conductive members forming the matrix it has in some circumstances been found impossible to select values of the coupling elements to give a required beam pattern. The invention solves the problem by including phase shifters in alternate lines to the antenna elements. A separate matrix and phase combiner is provided for each beam to be formed.

  • Photoconductive cells
    Patent number: 3976812
    Abstract: 1. A method of forming a photosensitive layer of lead sulfide crystals which comprises precipitating the crystals onto a seeded glass support by adding a solution of allyl-thiourea to an alkaline solution of a copper nitrate and a lead nitrate having a concentration of copper between 5 .times. 10.sup..sup.-5 and 5 .times. 10.sup..sup.-4 molar, a concentration of lead between 0.05 and 0.06 molar, and a concentration of hydroxide between 0.55 and 0.75 molar and immersing said seeded glass support in the resulting mixture.
