Assignee:

Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

H01Q 1/38
H01Q 19/06

US Classification:

343700MS, 343754, 343853

Abstract:

In accordance with an embodiment, a phased array antenna system includes a printed wiring board formed in rhombic shape that accommodates requirements for low observability and a beam forming network located within the printed wiring board. The beam forming network is located over substantially the entire printed wiring board. The embodiment includes connectors located on the backside of the printed wiring board. The back side connectors allow the array architecture to expand to include more subarrays and therefore allowing for more beam forming elements in a full size array than conventional phased arrays.

International Classification:

H01Q 3/34
H01Q 1/24

Abstract:

Disclosed is a switchable transmit and receive phased array antenna (“STRPAA”). As an example, the STRPAA may include a housing, a multilayer printed wiring board (“MLPWB”) within the housing having a top surface and a bottom surface, a plurality of radiating elements located on the top surface of the MLPWB, and a plurality of transmit and receive (“T/R”) modules attached to the bottom surface of the MLPWB. The STRPAA may also include a plurality of vias, wherein each via, of the plurality of vias, passes through the MLPWB and is configured as a signal path between a T/R module, of the plurality of T/R modules, on the bottom surface of the MLPWB and a radiating element, of the plurality of radiating elements, located on the top surface of the MLPWB opposite the T/R module.

Abstract:

An accessory mounting system a swivel assembly has a swivel member defining first and second swivel member connector portions, a swivel housing, and first and second bearings operatively arranged between the swivel member and the swivel housing. The accessory mounting system operatively connects a helical pile driving system having a rotational drive system and at least one clamp system to an accessory. The first swivel member connector portion is adapted to operatively connect the swivel member to the drive system. The second swivel member connector portion is adapted to operatively connect the swivel member to the accessory. The swivel housing is adapted to engage the at least one clamp system such that the clamp system may be operated to fix a position of the swivel housing relative to the drive system. The first and second bearings are configured to allow rotation of the swivel member relative to the swivel housing.
