Abstract: Phased array antennas, such as a multi-function aperture, are limited in performance and reliability by traditional air-cooled thermal management systems. A fuel-cooled multi-function aperture passes engine fuel through channels within the ribs of the multi-function aperture to provide better heat transfer than can be achieved through air cooled systems. The increased heat transfer and thermal management results in a multi-function aperture with improved performance and reliability.

A fuel-cooled multi-function aperture passes engine fuel through heat exchangers that surround the multi-function aperture to provide better heat transfer than can be achieved through air cooling systems. The increased heat transfer and thermal management results in a multi-function aperture with improved performance and reliability.

Abstract: A chip-scale gyrometric apparatus is disclosed. In embodiments, the chip-scale gyrometric apparatus includes a dielectric substrate and an antenna element attached thereto for receiving an inbound signal having an initial phase. The apparatus includes a splitter for splitting the inbound signal into two equivalent signals, and two coils connected to the splitter. The first coil carries one of the split signals in a clockwise (CW) path relative to a rotational axis, while the second coil carries the other split signal in a counterclockwise (CCW) path relative to the same axis. An integrated circuit (IC) on the substrate and connected to the first and second coils measures a phase shift between the first and second signals (e.g., deviation from the initial phase) based on their respective CW and CCW paths and determines, based on the measured phase shift, a degree of rotation relative to the common rotational axis.
