Assignee:

Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. - Broomfield CO

International Classification:

H01Q1/38

US Classification:

343700MS

Abstract:

The present invention relates to an antenna system that is particularly suited for use in mobile communications applications. The antenna system includes both a transmit array and a receive array in a side by side configuration. In one embodiment, the radiating elements used in each of the arrays consist of air loaded microstrip patch antennas. The elements in each array are linearly arranged and polarization diversity is utilized so that the transmit and receive arrays can be spaced closely together.

Abstract:

An automated farming system includes a frame. The frame includes a fixed base, a beam, and a support. A farming implement support extends from the beam and moves up and down in relation to the beam. The farming implement support moves along a length of the beam. The movable support includes a propulsion system and is configured to rotate around the fixed base. Movement of the farming implement support and the movable support allows for high density planting of crops in hexagonal patterns and/or a continuous spiral pattern.
