Abstract: The present invention relates to a blade for a gas turbine, in particular of an aircraft engine, having a blade airfoil, which has a blade-root-side first profile section and a blade-tip-side second profile section, which is spaced apart from the first profile section in a radial direction, from the first profile section to the second profile section, by a blade airfoil height, wherein a stagger angle of the blade airfoil changes with a height in the radial direction over the first profile section at least over certain portions, wherein, in a first region between a first height and a second, greater height, the change in the stagger angle over the height does not decrease with increasing height at least over certain portions.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology provide solutions for splitting power between different parts of a waveguide. Features inside of a waveguide may include an input and interconnected vertical and horizontal hollow spaces (i.e. channels). Other features may include structures (i.e. septum features) that reflect a portion of electromagnetic energy moving in a channel and may allow another portion of that electromagnetic (EM) energy to pass around those septum features. A horizontal channel of a waveguide may lead to several vertical channel of the waveguide and the septum features may reflect EM energy toward one particular vertical channel such that an amount of EM energy output from that particular vertical channel may be increased as compared to amounts of EM energy output from other vertical channels of the waveguide. Geometries of the waveguide features may focus emitted EM energy by splitting the EM energy into several different parts.

Abstract: A radar system is described herein. The radar system includes a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a metallized top layer and a substrate layer that is adjacent the metallized top layer. The substrate layer includes a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), and the metallized layer has a slotted taper etched therein. The slotted taper is positioned relative to the SIW such that an electromagnetic signal generated by a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) passes from the slotted taper to the SIW without an intervening microstrip line. The radar system further includes a housing that acts both to disperse heat and to suppress undesired electromagnetic radiation.
