  • Patent number: 7836577
    Abstract: A method for making a feed structure for an antenna may include providing a polarizer body having a polarizer sidewall extending longitudinally between spaced apart ends. A portion of the polarizer sidewall is deformed to provide at least one polarizing structure that extends radially inwardly along an interior of the polarizer sidewall relative to adjacent portions of the polarizer sidewall. The method thus can be utilized to produce an antenna structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2010
    Assignee: Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation

  • Patent number: 7034774
    Abstract: A polarizer for an antenna and antenna structures are disclosed. According to one aspect a polarizer includes a generally cylindrical sidewall portion extending between spaced apart end portions. At least one polarizing structure extends substantially continuously along an interior of the sidewall portion and extends radially inwardly relative to the sidewall portion according to a first radius in a longitudinal direction and a second radius in a transverse direction. The polarizer can be implemented as part of an antenna structure, which further can be integrated with a transition stage and/or a horn.

  • Patent number: 6318749
    Abstract: An angularly adjustable snowboard binding mount and method of adjusting such which utilizes a position altering plate which is fixedly mounted onto a snowboard. A baseplate is mounted on the position altering plate and is pivotally movable from a locked position to an unlocked position with the unlocked position being substantially ninety degrees from the locked position. The locked position locates the longitudinal axis of the boot binding substantially at ninety degrees relative to the longitudinal center axis of the snowboard. The unlocked position locates the longitudinal axis of the boot binding substantially in alignment with the longitudinal center axis of the snowboard. In the second embodiment of this invention, the boot binding is mounted on an adjustment plate which is mounted in conjunction with the baseplate.
