  • Field modification device
    Patent number: 12436214
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for a field modification device for modifying a transmission field (Tx) and/or a receive field (Rx) used by an MR system are provided. The field modification device comprises a plurality of resonator elements being inducible by the transmission field and/or the receive field to resonate, thereby modifying the transmission field and/or the receive field, respectively, wherein a respective resonance frequency and/or resonance phase of a respective resonator element and/or of a respective group of resonator elements is individually controllable. The field modification device further comprises a device controller configured to individually control the respective resonance frequency and/or resonance phase of the respective resonator element and/or of the respective group of resonator elements.

  • Missile, in particular guided missile, having a radar sensor unit
    Patent number: 12203729
    Abstract: A missile, in particular a guided missile, has a missile body and a radar sensor unit for acquiring a target object. The radar sensor unit contains at least one radar antenna, strip-shaped in the longitudinal direction, that is mounted or integrated on a circumferential surface of the missile body such that the longitudinal direction of the at least one strip-shaped radar antenna is aligned in the direction of the missile longitudinal axis.

  • Cable mantle for shield current suppression in a shielded cable
    Patent number: 12055607
    Abstract: A cable mantle for shield current suppression in a shielded cable includes a through hole for hosting the shielded cable; and a plurality of resonant elements; wherein each of the resonant elements includes an inner tube-shaped conductive structure; an outer tube-shaped conductive structure; a first transversal conductive structure; a second transversal conductive structure; and at least one capacitor bridging a gap between a first longitudinal portion of the outer tube-shaped conductive structure and a second longitudinal portion of the outer tube-shaped conductive structure, so that an electrical behavior of the inner tube-shaped conductive structure, the first longitudinal portion of the outer tube-shaped conductive structure, the second longitudinal portion of the outer tube-shaped conductive structure, the first transversal conductive structure, the second transversal conductive structure and the at least one capacitor is equivalent to a parallel resonant circuit defining a resonance frequency of the res
