  • RF/optical shared aperture for high availability wideband communication RF/FSO links
    Patent number: 8989584
    Abstract: An RF/Optical shared aperture is capable of transmitting and receiving optical signals and RF signals simultaneously. This technology enables compact wide bandwidth communications systems with 100% availability in clear air turbulence, rain and fog. The functions of an optical telescope and an RF reflector antenna are combined into a single compact package by installing an RF feed at either of the focal points of a modified Gregorian telescope.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 24, 2015
    Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC
    Inventors: Anthony J. Ruggiero, Hsueh-yuan Pao, Paul Sargis
