  • Publication number: 20120206311
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dielectric waveguide antenna including: a dielectric waveguide transmitting a signal applied from a power feeder; a dielectric waveguide radiator radiating the signal transmitted from the dielectric waveguide to the air through a first aperture; and a matching unit formed in a portion of the dielectric waveguide and controlling a serial reactance and a parallel reactance to thereby perform impedance matching between the dielectric waveguide radiator and the air, in order to reduce reflection generated in the first aperture during the radiation of the signal through the first aperture. Reflection in the aperture is reduced through the matching unit having various structures, thereby making it possible to improve characteristics of the dielectric waveguide antenna.

  • Patent number: 7446627
    Abstract: High frequency power amplification modules comprise a dielectric substrate supporting a stepped impedance transition coupled to the input of a power amplifier and a symmetrically disposed stepped impedance transition connected to the output of the power amplifier. The power amplification modules are oriented in an electromagnetic energy field so that input electromagnetic energy is coupled to the input of the power amplifier by the input side stepped impedance transition, amplified by the amplifier, and emitted from the module by the output side stepped impedance transition. A plurality of the power amplification modules may be organized into an array to provide a power combiner. The power amplification modules in the array may be linked by isolation impedances that decouple the modules in the array.

  • Patent number: 7330161
    Abstract: An antenna comprises a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer and an LC resonance circuit. The first conductive layer has plural elements and is disposed adjacently to each other. The second conductive layer is disposed at a predetermined distance from the first conductive layer via a dielectric substrate. The LC resonance circuit comprises connection for electrically connecting the elements and the second conductive layer. The LC resonance circuit takes a resonance state in which impedance becomes high in the operating frequency of the antenna. Of the plural elements, a power feeding section is provided in each of any two adjacent elements. Power is fed to the power feeding sections during transmission so that signals of the operating frequency are opposite in phase, and signals of the operating frequency inputted to the antenna are outputted in opposite phase from the power feeding sections during reception.

  • Patent number: 6919862
    Abstract: A multi layered high impedance structure presents a high impedance to multiple frequency signals, with a different frequency for each layer. Each layer comprises a dielectric substrate, and an array of radiating elements such as parallel conductive strips or conductive patches on the substrate's top surface, with a conductive layer on the bottom surface of the bottommost layer. The radiating elements of succeeding layers are vertically aligned with conductive vias extending through the substrates to connect the radiating elements to the ground plane. Each layer presents as a series of parallel resonant L-C circuits to an E field at a particular signal frequency, resulting in a high impedance surface at that frequency. The new structure can be used as the substrate for a microstrip patch antenna to provide an optimal electrical distance between the resonator and backplane at multiple frequencies.

  • Patent number: 6603357
    Abstract: An improved waveguide wall structure and improved waveguide using the new wall structure as the interior walls of the waveguide. The wall structure comprises a sheet of dielectric material, a series of parallel conductive strips on one side of the dielectric material and a layer of conductive material on the other side. Multiple conductive vias are also included through the dielectric material and between the conductive layer and conductive strips. The new wall structure presents as a series of parallel L-C circuits to a transverse E field at resonant frequency, resulting in a high impedance surface. The wall structure can be used in waveguides that transmit a signal in one polarization or signals that are cross polarized. The new waveguide maintains a near uniform density E field and H field component, resulting in near uniform signal power density across the waveguide cross section.
