  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING ORTHOGONAL SOLDER INTERCONNECTS
    Publication number: 20210076505
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for soldering an electrical component to a circuit board includes a stage positioning the circuit board and electrical component in alignment with a solder tip along an axis. A first spring-loaded compression mechanism maintains contact between the circuit board and the electrical component, and a second spring-loaded compression mechanism brings the soldering tip into thermal contact with the circuit board and the electrical component such that solder disposed adjacent to the circuit board and the electrical component melts. When the second spring-loaded compression mechanism removes its applied force such that the soldering tip comes out of contact with the circuit board, the first spring-loaded compression mechanism maintains the contact between the circuit board and the electrical component while the solder cools and solidifies.

  • Low profile, ultra-wide band, low frequency modular phased array antenna with coincident phase center
    Patent number: 10396461
    Abstract: An antenna is provided and includes a radiator assembly extending along a first plane, a patterned ferrite layer extending along a second plane and a band stop frequency selective surface (FSS) extending along a third plane. The third plane of the band stop FSS is axially interposed between the first plane of the radiator assembly and the second plane of the patterned ferrite layer.
