  • Publication number: 20230291113
    Abstract: A dielectric waveguide antenna and manufacturing method, as well as a quasi-helical antenna device. The electrically conducting features within the dielectric waveguide antenna are manufactured using standard printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing technology. Internal elements of the PCB antenna construction may be capacitively coupled or galvanically coupled. The final outer form of the dielectric waveguide antenna is machined by turning on a lathe, and the final outer form is accurately aligned and registered to the electrically conducting features within. The quasi-helical antenna device comprises a repeating, periodic, chain of substantially straight conductive segments that are wound about a central axis. The quasi-helical antenna is fabricated within a planar printed circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230253715
    Abstract: Waveguide antennas and corresponding manufacturing methods are described herein. These include dual-linear antennas. These dual-linear antennas provide efficient transmission and reception of two radio-frequency signals that may be polarized in orthogonal orientations. The electrically conducting features within the dual-linear antenna are manufactured using standard printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing technology. The final outer form of the dielectric waveguide antenna may be machined by turning on a lathe or similar mechanical technique, cast in a mold, or injection molded, and the final outer form is accurately aligned and registered to the radio-frequency features of the PCB. The dual-polarized antenna device may include multiple pairs of parallel slot antennas fabricated within a planar printed circuit.

  • Patent number: 11316239
    Abstract: The present invention features a waveguide transition. A waveguide transition is used to join two dissimilar segments of waveguide, in this case coplanar waveguide to rectangular waveguide, and vice-versa. Care taken during the design of the waveguide transition ensures that the reflection of electromagnetic waves, which may be traveling along the coplanar waveguide segment and toward the waveguide transition and subsequent rectangular waveguide segment, is minimized.
