  • Patent number: 11482789
    Abstract: Ellipticity reduction in circularly polarized array antennas is provided herein. An antenna array may include a processor that is configured to control a plurality of elements, each of the plurality of elements producing an elliptically polarized wave having an eccentricity value, the elliptically polarized wave traveling along a direction of propagation, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of elements are incrementally clocked around their direction of propagation, so that a combined output of the plurality of elements is substantially circularly polarized.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10749263
    Abstract: Printed circuit board mounted antenna and waveguide interfaces are provided herein. An example device includes any of a dielectric substrate or transmission line, an antenna mounted onto the dielectric substrate, and an elongated waveguide mounted onto the dielectric substrate so as to enclose around a periphery of the antenna and contain radiation produced by the antenna along a path that is coaxial with a centerline of the waveguide.

  • Patent number: 10714805
    Abstract: Higher isolation solutions for printed circuit board mounted antenna and waveguide interfaces are provided herein. An example waveguide mounted onto a dielectric substrate can enclose around a periphery of an antenna and contain radiation produced by the antenna along a path that is coaxial with a centerline of the waveguide. The waveguide can have a first portion having a first cross sectional area that is substantially polygonal that transitions to a second cross sectional area that is substantially conical. A shape of the radiation produced by the antenna is altered by the first portion as the radiation propagates through the first portion. A second portion includes an elongated tubular member coupled with the first portion.

  • Patent number: 7358901
    Abstract: An antenna design is provided. In one embodiment, the antenna is a planar element with a radiating element containing an elliptical curved portion connected to two curved regions, the curved regions meeting at a geometric construct. Another embodiment provides an antenna constructed with intersecting planar elements. A third embodiment is an antenna that is a solid of revolution of a planar element. Some antenna embodiments include ground plane elements to shape the radiation patterns. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
