Publication number: 20240039146Abstract: Examples disclosed herein describe an antenna architecture (e.g., a planar electronically steered antenna architecture) that enables operation at low elevation angles, down to zero degrees from the satellite. The proposed ‘3SA’ architecture may improve power consumption and array footprints. The proposed ‘3SA’ architecture can support aero terminal implementation on aircraft, enabling the use of GEO, MEO and LEO satellites even in regions having low elevation angles. The architecture may include a horizontal antenna array and vertical antenna array as well as a controller for switching between the antenna arrays.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventor: Ronen Stoleru

Publication number: 20240039147Abstract: A microwave-doppler detecting module and device thereof are provided, wherein the microwave-doppler detecting module includes an electromagnetic reflecting surface and at least a pair of antithetical dipoles spacingly disposed to the electromagnetic reflecting surface. When the first and second radiating source poles respectively extended from a first and second feed ends of the pair of antithetical dipoles are respectively fed by the same excitation signal feed source at the first feed end and the second feed end, the current and the potential distribution of the first radiating source pole and the second radiating source pole can present an antithetical distribution state and antithetically coupled to the midpoint of the connection of the first feed end and the second feed end, so as to reduce the size requirement of the microwave-doppler detecting module and to avoid detection dead zone from occurring.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Gaodi ZOU, Xin ZOU
