  • Millimeter wave modulator and transmitter
    Patent number: 6163231
    Abstract: In a millimeter wave modulation of the direct modulation technology, the switching speed is increased and the modulation bandwidth is broadened. A millimeter wave modulator includes a millimeter wave waveguide. a switching element (PIN diode) disposed in the waveguide in which the switching element is turned on and off by a digital signal to achieve amplitude-modulation of a millimeter carrier wave propagating through the waveguide, and a shunt resistor connected to the switching element in parallel.

  • Transmitter receiver operating at 94 GHz
    Patent number: 4470049
    Abstract: A solid state transmitter/receiver operating at 94 GHz is shown to comprise an injection-locked pulsed oscillator for transmitting interrogating pulses and a first local oscillator for heterodyning with received signals to produce an intermediate frequency (I.F.) signal, both such oscillators being phase-locked to a master oscillator operating at a frequency below 94 GHz.

  • Gimbal assembly for monopulse radar antenna
    Patent number: 4450451
    Abstract: A gimbal assembly for a monopulse antenna gyroscopically stabilized on a moving vehicle is shown to comprise a tripartite bearing having a fixed spherical inner section, an annular central section, connected through a helical spring to the moving vehicle, mounted on the spherical inner section and an annular outermost section rotatably mounted on the central section to form a gyroscopic mass that may be precessed.
