Patent number: 6980065Abstract: A low nosie block (LNB) system is described which facilitates the mount of printed circuit board (PCBs) with probes attached to an LNB housing. The LNB housing has, in a preferred arrangement, two keyhole-shaped apertures located in the back wall of the waveguide for receiving the probes already mounted to the PCB. The apertures are dimensioned and proportioned to lie on either side of a waveguide septum and to allow probes, when coupled to a printed circuit board, to be inserted through the respective apertures for correct orientation within the waveguide once the printed circuit board is secured to the housing and to allow minimal transmission of electromagnetic radiation through the apertures other than by a transmission line formed by the probes.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2001Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Inventors: Gerard King, Andrew Patrick Baird

Patent number: 6831612Abstract: The present invention relates to antenna feeds (10, 30, 70, 78, 94) for use in linear or circularly polarised systems. In one embodiment of the invention, a cross-type antenna feed (30) comprises a cylindrical metal waveguide housing (12) and a cross-type metal feed body (32) coupled to the front of the waveguide housing (12). The feed body (32) has four peripherally spaced corrugated arm portions (34) arranged in a mutually orthogonal relationship, where the arm portions (34) extend radially outwardly from a longitudinal axis (16) of the feed body (32). Ridges (36) on each arm portion (34) are arranged concentrically around the axis (16) and parallel thereto, with successive ridges spaced from the axis (16) in a tiered arrangement. In another embodiment the antenna feed is a dielectric lens. The antenna feed is used in an antenna system having a reflector antenna in addition or in a low noise block (LNB) receiver.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2003Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Channel Master LimitedInventors: Gerard King, Jamie Stokes

Patent number: 6720932Abstract: A multi-frequency antenna feed for incorporation into a single unit which combines at least two waveguides to provide simultaneous reception and/or transmission of signals in at least two separate frequency bands is described. This is achieved by creating a waveguide system of at least two waveguides sharing the same central axis; a central conventional waveguide which also acts as a center conductor for an outer coaxial waveguide and feeding the outer coaxial waveguide from a non-circular side feed, orthogonal to the waveguide axis, to set up a uniform field in the outer coaxial waveguide. The feeds are adjusted so that the phase center for each frequency band is at the same point in the feed for the same dish. Various embodiments of the invention are described.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Channel Master LimitedInventors: Stephen John Flynn, Gerard King, Andrew Patrick Baird, Jamie Stokes

Patent number: 5619173Abstract: A dual polarisation waveguide probe system for use with a satellite dish (10) for receiving satellite signals orthogonally polarised in the same frequency band and for providing improved isolation between these polarised satellite signals is disclosed. The probe system has a waveguide (28) incorporated in a low-noise block receiver (12) into which two probes (34, 38) are located for receiving linearly polarised energy of both orthogonal senses. The probes (34, 38) are located in the same longitudinal plane on opposite sides of a single cylindrical bar reflector (36) which reflects one sense of polarisation and passes the orthogonal signal with minimal insertion loss, and then reflects the rotated orthogonal signal. The probes (34, 38) are spaced .lambda./4 from the reflector (36). A reflection rotator (44) is also formed using a thin plate which is orientated at 45.degree. to the incident linear polarisation with a short circuit (46) spaced approximately a quarter wavelength (.lambda.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 1994Date of Patent: April 8, 1997Assignee: Cambridge Computer LimitedInventors: Gerard King, Andrew P.

Patent number: 4959873Abstract: A transmission line switch allows a single output line (3) to be switched to one of two or more input lines (1,2) to which it is permanently connected at a common junction (4). Each input line (1,2) has an associated amplifier stage (10) which can be biased in a normal high gain (`on`) state, or in an isolation (`off`) state. Suitable biasing in the `off` state ensures that the amplifier stage output presents a low impedance to its own input line, the length (L) of which is chosen to reflect a high impedance at the junction (4) with the other lines. Correct design enables the return loss and insertion loss of the `on` path to be kept to low values while simultaneously offering a high insertion loss to the `off` path signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1989Date of Patent: September 25, 1990Assignee: The Marconi Company LimitedInventors: Stephen J. Flynn, Gerard King
