  • Publication number: 20240243079
    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) bridge that may include a body having an interfacing surface and a bonding surface extending from the interfacing surface. RF bridge may also include an interconnect operably engaged with the body. The interconnect may have at least one electrical connection positioned at the interfacing surface and at least another electrical connection positioned at the interfacing surface adjacent with the at least one electrical connection. The interconnect extends curvilinearly between the at least one electrical connection and the at least another electrical connection creating a curvilinear signal path.

  • Patent number: 11811130
    Abstract: An antenna positioner provided on a deployable vehicle. The antenna positioner includes a base and a frame having a plurality of plates oriented at an angle relative to one another. Each plate may include a low band antenna and a high band antenna. The base is located inside a chamber of the deployable vehicle. The frame is movable relative to the base between a collapsed position, where the entire frame is positioned within the chamber, and an extended position wherein at least a portion of the frame extends outwardly through an opening in the deployable vehicle's exterior wall. The frame is pivotally engaged with the base and a gearing mechanism pivots the frame between the collapsed position and the extended position to arrange the antennas at a desired orientation relative to the deployable vehicle's exterior wall so as to maximize the antenna's near-vertical Field of View (FoV).
