Abstract: The antenna focusing ring disclosed herein is configured for use with any given subscriber module (antenna). The antenna focusing ring may also be used to focus and concentrate the electromagnetic signal generated by the subscriber module onto a parabolic reflector antenna used in the transmission of data over wireless transmission systems. The antenna focusing ring described herein is used to increase signal gain in the wireless data transmission system by focusing and thereby correcting the poor illumination of an internal patch antenna within the given subscriber module.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, a parabolic antenna may include a radome with an optically transparent window. The parabolic antenna may include a feedhorn socket configured to receive a feedhorn assembly. The feedhorn socket may also be configured to receive a spotting scope. According to various embodiments, the spotting scope may be mounted in place of the feedhorn assembly and used to optically align the parabolic antenna with respect to a distant target. The optically transparent window positioned in the radome may allow a user to see through the radome. Once aligned, the spotting scope may be removed from the feedhorn socket. A feedhorn assembly may then be secured in the feedhorn socket and a radio unit coupled thereto for radio frequency transmission.

Abstract: The invention is a passive parabolic antenna system for use with conventional subscriber module radio antennas. The passive parabolic antenna system includes a microwave feed assembly that forms a resonant cavity coupling device for coupling to an internal patch antenna of a conventional subscriber module radio antenna. A method of boosting signal strength of a conventional subscriber module radio antenna and a wireless communication system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for depositing metallic coatings on substrates using a laser printer toner mask. A novel laser printer toner mask provides well-defined masked regions on the substrate and complementary unmasked regions. Metallic vapor from a source may be directed to a substrate with the novel mask adhered to a surface of the substrate where it condenses on the masked surface of the substrate. The mask may then be removed using any suitable technique including simply brushing the material off. Once the mask has been removed, a well-defined metallic coating remains on the unmasked regions of the substrate surface. The system and method may be used on flexible substrates such as those formed of plastic or polyester films.
