  • Patent number: 4742359
    Abstract: A parabolic antenna for SHF band having a primary feeder and a reflector is improved by using a backfire helical antenna as a primary feeder, which is fed by using a coaxial cable. The backfire helical antenna has a matching disc coupled with an outer conductor of the coaxial cable feeder, and a coil, one end of which is coupled with an inner conductor of said coaxial cable. The other end of the coil is free standing. The coil is positioned so that the axis of the coil coincides with the axis of the reflector, and the feed end of the coil locates nearer to the reflector than the free standing end of the coil. The present antenna is useful in particular for a receiving antenna for a direct satellite broadcasting.

  • Patent number: 4539433
    Abstract: An electromagnetic shielding material for absorbing electromagnetic energy has been found. The shielding material is flexible and has a thin conductive core with a composite ferrite material deposited around the core. The composite ferrite material is a mixture of ferrite powder and a binder for binding the powder. The conductive core may be formed in the shape of a flat sheet or an elongated textile shape. The binder may be a high molecular compound like plastic. When the core is in a textile shape, the textile covered with the composite ferrite material is woven into a cloth which is sufficiently flexible to form around any desired shape.

  • Patent number: 4525614
    Abstract: A microwave absorber device for a microwave heater having a main body with an opening and a door for closing said opening with a leakage path between the door and the main body. The absorber device has a choke cavity along a leakage path of the microwave energy between the main body and the door, said choke cavity having an approximate 1/4 wavelength of length, and an entrance facing said leakage path for accepting microwave energy. Said entrance of the choke cavity is closed by a cover plate made of ferro-magnetic material, which is a mixture of ferrite and gum. Preferably, an additional microwave absorber made of ferro-magnetic material which is integral with said cover plate is provided next to the choke cavity. Preferably, the dielectric constant of the material of the cover plate is less than 15. Still, preferably, the ratio of the imaginary part of the complex permeability to the real part of the same of the cover plate material is larger than 0.5.

  • Patent number: 4515850
    Abstract: A composite ferrite cloth having ferro-magnetic property weaved with composite ferrite textile has been found. The composite ferrite textile is the mixture of ferrite powder and the binder for coupling the same. The binder may be a high molecule compound like plastics, or glass with low melting point. The composite textile may be produced either by slicing a composite ferrite sheet attached on a plastics substrate, depositing composite ferrite paint around a core textile similar to the producing process of an electric wire, or just mixing ferrite powder with plastics or glass. The ferrite cloth which is weaved with composite ferrite textile is flexible and has many fields of application.

  • Patent number: 4046983
    Abstract: A microwave heating oven has a seal located in the path formed by a gap between the oven body and the oven door for preventing microwave leakage. The seal may comprise several seals, and includes a microwave absorber as one of the seals. The microwave absorber consists of a mixture of a powder of magnetic material and an organic high molecular weight compound. The length of the microwave absorber in the direction of propagation of microwave in the path of microwave leakage is an integral multiple of about 1/2.lambda., wherein .lambda. is a wavelength of the microwave in the microwave absorber.
