International Classification:

H01Q 1/24

Abstract:

Systems and methods for an antenna conformal to a sphere are provided. In certain implementations, an apparatus comprises a sphere having a recessed portion formed therein, the sphere enclosing instrumentation that produces a transmittable electronic signal; central conductor placed within the recessed portion, wherein the central conductor is coupled to the instrumentation to receive the transmittable electronic signal, wherein the transmittable electronic signal is emitted outside of the sphere; and an insulator cap located over the recessed portion, wherein locations on the external surface of the insulator cap and an external facing surface of the central conductor are substantially equidistant from a center point of the sphere.

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H01Q 15/24
H01Q 13/00
H01Q 19/06

US Classification:

343753, 343756, 29600

Abstract:

An antenna feed with mode suppression includes a transition section, having a window for connecting to an output port of a waveguide and having inner and outer conductors forming a coaxial waveguide that couples energy from the waveguide into a horizontal TEmode in the coaxial waveguide. A polarizer section is coupled to the transition section and generates circular polarization from the horizontal mode of the transition section. A radiator section is coupled to the polarizer and provides an output signal for the antenna feed. The transition section includes an electrical short coupling the inner and outer conductors. The electrical short is disposed adjacent to the window of the transition section. A dielectric block is also disposed between the inner and outer conductors and adjacent to the electrical short along the axis of the coaxial waveguide. A surface of the dielectric block is coated with a thin film sheet resistance.

Abstract:

A waveguide-configuration adapter is provided. The waveguide-configuration adapter includes a horizontal waveguide and a vertical waveguide. The horizontal waveguide includes a first-interface port spanning a first X-Y plane and a first-coupling port spanning a Y-Z plane with a first-coupling-port width parallel to the y axis. The vertical waveguide includes a second-interface port spanning a second X-Y plane and a second-coupling port spanning a third X-Y plane with a second-coupling-port width parallel to the x axis. When an E-field is input at the first/second coupling port in the plane of the first/second coupling port, respectively, and oriented perpendicular to the first/second coupling-port width, respectively, the E-field is output from the second/first coupling port, respectively, in the plane of second/first coupling port, respectively, and oriented perpendicular to the second/first coupling-port width, respectively.
