The antenna may provide high radiation gain due to a large number of the radiating elements, which may be represented by one or more periodic openings or slots in a partially reflective surface (PRS). A feed network for the antenna may be provided by a wave bouncing between a ground plane and the PRS. The feed may be substantially in air, thereby suffering little to no loss. The fabrication process and/or method for the antenna is simple and low-cost. In one embodiment, the antenna may be formed at least in part by micromachining The antenna may be designed at least in part using the Fabry-PĂ©rot Cavity (FPC) method. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241786 | ANTENNA ASSEMBLY - An antenna assembly includes a carrier, a metal sheet, and an antenna. The metal sheet is attached to the carrier and defining at least one notch. The antenna is connected to the metal sheet and includes a radio body for receiving and transmitting wireless signals. The radio body is positioned above the metal sheet. The length of current path in a peripheral wall of the at least one notch is in a predetermined proportion to the wavelength of the wireless signals, enabling the metal sheet to resonate with the radio body to increase the bandwidth of the antenna. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241787 | MODULAR GRIDDED TAPERED SLOT ANTENNA - A planar antenna comprising: a substrate, a resonant element generating an electromagnetic wave, a plurality of parallel, spaced apart conductive strips on the substrate, wherein conductive strips form collinear rows of at least two strips that are physically separated by a slot to guide the electromagnetic wave in a specific direction. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241788 | Ridged Waveguide Flared Radiator Antenna - Presently disclosed is an antenna system having an array of ridged waveguide Vivaldi radiator (RWVR) antenna elements fed through a corporate network of suspended air striplines (SAS). The SAS transfers the electromagnetic energy to the radiating element via the ridged waveguide coupler. The Vivaldi radiator matches the output impedance of the ridged waveguide coupler/SAS to the impedance of the surrounding medium. Because the coupling method and the radiating elements are wideband mediums, this antenna array is capable of wideband operation. The physical dimensions of the resulting array are also not as sensitive to its electrical performance as other antenna designs since the bandwidth is quite large, reducing the occurrence of an out-of-specification antenna due to manufacturing tolerance build-up. This also reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process, which in turn lowers cost. | 2013-09-19 |
20130241789 | ANTENNA ARRAY - A circuit board for wireless communications includes communication circuitry for modulating and/or demodulating a radio frequency (RF) signal and an antenna apparatus for transmitting and receiving the RF signal, the antenna apparatus having selectable antenna elements located near one or more peripheries of the circuit board.

The antenna elements may include one or more reflectors configured to provide gain and broaden the frequency response of the antenna element. A switching network couples one or more of the selectable elements to the communication circuitry and provides impedance matching regardless of which or how many of the antenna elements are selected. Selecting different combinations of antenna elements results in a configurable radiation pattern; alternatively, selecting several elements may result in an omnidirectional radiation pattern. | 2013-09-19 |

20130241791 | Ridged Waveguide Flared Radiator Array Using Electromagnetic Bandgap Material - Presently disclosed is an antenna system having an array of ridged waveguide Vivaldi radiator (RWVR) antenna elements fed through a corporate network of suspended air striplines (SAS) with an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) ground plane surrounding the ridged waveguide transition. The SAS transfers the electromagnetic energy to the radiating element via the ridged waveguide coupler. The Vivaldi radiator matches the output impedance of the ridged waveguide coupler/SAS to the intrinsic impedance of the surrounding medium. The EBG, which may be comprised of a photonic bandgap material or other metamaterial, allows for better frequency and bandwidth performance in a lower-profile array package, thereby reducing size and weight of the array for applications requiring small size and or low-inertia packaging. In alternate embodiments, radiating elements other than Vivaldi radiators may be used. This configuration also reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process, which in turn lowers cost. | 2013-09-19 |
