Patent number: 9583841Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a balun suitable for realizing a wideband transition in the radio frequency band from an unbalanced transmission line to a balanced transmission line. The balun comprises an input terminal; a two conductor output terminal; and a layered structure comprising a number of conducting layers and dielectric layers alternatingly arranged on top of each other. The layered structure comprises at least one ground plane layer and at least one signal transmission layer. The input terminal has a signal connection point and a screen connecting point. An unbalanced signal path is connected to the signal connection point and the screen connecting point of the input terminal. A balanced signal path is connected to the output terminal and being part of the layered structure. A balun transition region transforms the signal from an unbalanced signal to a balanced signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: SAAB ABInventors: Ola Forslund, Henrik Holter, Andreas Wikstroem

Patent number: 7913198Abstract: A method for designing low signature array antennas using a calculation method. The method proposes a way of improving antenna and signature performance of array antennas. According to the method electromagnetic antenna and signature characteristics are specified, an iterative optimizing method is performed to design the antenna to fulfil the specified characteristics, the iterative method is interrupted when a design fulfils the specified characteristics, and the specified characteristics are readjusted in an iterative optimizing method to follow if the specified characteristics not are fulfilled.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2007Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: SAAB ABInventor: Henrik Holter

Patent number: 7616169Abstract: An electrically controlled group antenna including an antenna element suitable for incorporation in such a group antenna and an antenna module including several such antenna elements. The antenna elements include a rotationally-symmetrical body tapering towards one end of the body. The rotationally-symmetrical body is provided with a metallic casing surface. Several antenna elements are arranged separately on a common earth plane. A broadband group antenna is achieved that, among other things, is simple in design and is easy to manufacture and repair.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: SAAB ABInventor: Henrik Holter
