  • Electronically tunable microstrip antenna
    Patent number: 4475108
    Abstract: A microstrip antenna with a linearly polarized radiating patch is varied in resonant frequency by an electronic tuning technique. A dc bias voltage is combined with the excitation signal to regulate the capacitance of a varactor diode mounted in the antenna structure. In one embodiment the varactor is in shunt with a half wave open circuited radiator and adds electrical length to the antenna, while in another embodiment the varactor is in series with a shorted quarter wave radiator and subtracts electrical length therefrom.

  • Radiated input mixer
    Patent number: 4287603
    Abstract: A radiated input mixer for converting a radio frequency (RF) signal into an intermediate frequency (IF) signal with the aid of a local oscillator (LO) signal includes, in combination, an antenna having balanced feed terminals, a diode quad, and a balun with balanced terminals orthogonally positioned with respect to the antenna terminals to provide a less complex and more efficient device of the type described than has heretofore been known in the art.
