  • Patent number: 10833405
    Abstract: Steerable antenna on platforms, fixed or mobile, are tracked to form an RF communication link by setting the width of the main lobe of the antenna beam pattern to be greater than the initial pointing uncertainty region and then concurrently scanning and progressively reducing the widths of the main lobes as the pointing uncertainty region is reduced to first acquire and then track the opposing antenna. The width of the main lobe is reduced such that the width of the main lobe is approximately fixed for each block. The antennas at opposite ends of the communication link may be scanned with scan patterns that are orthogonal to each other such that the demodulation of the received signal levels to signal direction of arrival at each platform is solely a function of the scan pattern of the receive antenna.

  • Patent number: 10610746
    Abstract: A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface configured for striking a ball and a body connected to the face and extending rearwardly from the face. The body has an impact-influencing structure in the form of a channel positioned on at least one surface of the body. A majority of a force generated by impact with a ball is absorbed by the impact-influencing structure, and a majority of a response force generated by the head upon impact with the ball is generated by the impact-influencing structure. The face may have increased stiffness as compared to existing faces, and may include a stiffening structure to create the increased stiffness, such as a porous or cellular stiffening structure.

  • Patent number: 10063264
    Abstract: A communication system comprises a signal generator, polarizer, signal combiner, transmitter, positioning device, and controller. The signal generator converts first and second received data streams into respective first and second orthogonal linearly polarized signals. The polarizer is at a first rotation angle and converts first and second orthogonal linearly polarized signals into, respectively, a first right-hand-circularly polarized (RHCP) signal and first left-hand circularly polarized (LHCP) signal, which are combined in signal combiner into a signal sent by transmitter to a receiver. The positioning device adjusts the first rotation angle to substantially increase isolation between third and fourth orthogonal linearly polarized signals at the receiver. The controller performs the real-time analysis of transmission loss and directs the positioning device to adjust the first rotation angle.

  • Patent number: 9906245
    Abstract: A communications system having two terminals, each including two antennas, the communications system using spatial multiplexing. One antenna of a first terminal transmits a tracking tone along with a data signal. Two antennas in a second terminal receive the tracking tone. The signals from the two antennas are processed by a feed circuit. The feed circuit includes a variable delay circuit and a combiner that forms, at a first difference output, a linear combination, of a signal from the first antenna and a signal from the second antenna, in which the tracking tone is canceled. The variable delay circuit is actively adjusted to maintain this cancellation.
