  • Publication number: 20100117917
    Abstract: An ultra-wideband antenna array architecture includes a first array of radiating elements, a second array of radiating elements, and a third array of radiating elements, with their respective element widths proportionately ascending in size. In one configuration, the first array radiating element width is half a wavelength at the highest frequency of operation, the second array element width is twice the first width, and the third array element width is twice the second width. The first, second, and third arrays are positioned in a wavelength-scaled lattice wherein the wavelength scaling is based on design operative frequencies and whereby adjacent actively-radiating elements for an operative frequency are aligned so as to produce constructive interference when powered up. Feed means such as a diplexer with a selected-band frequency control then provides power to each array.

  • Publication number: 20010017602
    Abstract: A transmission system delays a carrier wave and program audio in the digital domain. The carrier wave and the program audio are converted to analog and the carrier wave is modulated by the program audio. The system includes a master oscillator that generates a digital carrier wave. The digital carrier wave is transmitted to a delay stage that delays the digital carrier wave by a certain delay value. The system further receives an analog or digital signal that is representative of programming. If an analog signal is received, the signal is transmitted to an analog-to-digital converter where it is converted to digital audio. The digital audio is then transmitted to a delay stage that delays the digital audio by the same delay value. The digital carrier wave and the digital audio are converted to an analog carrier wave and analog audio respectively. A modulator modulates the analog carrier wave by the analog audio and sends the amplitude modulated carrier wave to a power amplifier.

First and second microstrip type radiation electrodes are formed on respective right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode so as to sandwich the patch type radiation electrode. The first and second microstrip type radiation electrodes are symmetrical with respect to the patch type radiation electrode. If a microstrip type radiation electrode is formed on either one of the right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode, the directivity of radio waves of the patch type radiation electrode become unsymmetrical, due to effects of the microstrip type radiation electrode. On the other hand, the directivity of radio waves of the patch type radiation electrode can be made symmetrical by forming the microstrip type radiation electrodes on both of the right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode.

  • Patent number: 6175449
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for changing the polarization of an incident electromagnetic wave. Existing devices to change the polarization of an incident electromagnetic wave preserve signal decoupling, i.e., the relation between useful polarization and cross-polarization of the incoming signal. Furthermore, known prior art devices are far too big for many applications. The aim of the inventive device is to improve signal decoupling. During transmission of an electromagnetic wave through the transmission polarizer, the cross-coupled fraction of an incoming signal is greatly reflected thus leading to improved decoupling of the transmitted signal. Furthermore, the transmission polarizer can be manufactured in the form of a single planar printed board. The transmission polarizer is particularly useful to change the polarization of an incident electromagnetic wave, i.e.

  • Patent number: 5061942
    Abstract: An improved transceiver antenna is designed for mounting on vehicles where, for aerodynamic reasons, vertical orientation is undesirable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-gain antenna which, even when mounted at a declination of up to 40.degree. from the vertical, maintains the most smoothly curved possible antenna characteristic. This is achieved by winding four serially connected coils (SP1-SP4) on a rod (12) of dielectric material, with the third coil reverse-wound with respect to the second, with a radiating element (13) connected to the free end of the fourth coil, the lengths of the coils and radiating element being selected to be, respectively, 1/4, 1/4, 1/8, 1/8, and 3/8 of the median wavelength. Upon mounting at an angle of 40.degree. to the vertical, this antenna has an optimal antenna characteristic curve.
