  • Flat plate antenna, scaler collector and supporting structure
    Patent number: 5512913
    Abstract: An flat panel antenna for reflecting several microwave frequencies without adjusting to maximize frequency gain. Reflector surfaces propagate from a central axis and using declining inclined surfaces that focus reflected signals into a scaler collector set at a predetermined focal point from the surface of the panel. The shape of the antenna reflect signals with different frequencies by delay so that the scaler collector can process the signals separately.

  • Satellite locator
    Patent number: 5276972
    Abstract: An apparatus which can be carried to a field sight to locate current and future positions of geosynchronous satellites orbiting the equator in the Clark Belt Altitude. The apparatus corrects the error in viewing angle by providing corrections in longitude and latitude deviations caused by the location of the antenna. The apparatus will provide the user a means of accurately locating a satellite with regard to existing terrain and the obstacles which would interfere with signals between the ground position and the satellite.
