    摘要: An antenna consisting of a thin strip bent-wire monopole disposed on an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is loaded at the end opposite to the feed point with a distributed or lumped capacitance to achieve an electrically small antenna for use in handheld wireless devices. The capacitive load reduces the length of the antenna to smaller than one-quarter of a wavelength at a given frequency of operation without suffering a substantial loss of efficiency. This results in an easier integration into portable devices, greater radiation efficiency than other loaded antenna approaches and longer battery life in portable devices, and lower cost than use of a chip inductor.

    摘要: An artificial anisotropic dielectric material is used as a microstrip patch antenna substrate and can achieve dramatic antenna weight reduction. The artificial dielectric is comprised of a periodic structure of low and high permittivity layers. The net effective dielectric constant in the plane parallel to the layers is engineered to be any desired value between the permittivities of the constituent layers. These layers are oriented vertically below the patch to support electric fields consistent with desired resonant modes. Substrates may be engineered for both linearly and circularly polarized patch antennas. Substrate weights can be reduced by factors of from 6 to 30 times using different types of high permittivity layers. This concept has numerous applications in electrically small and lightweight antenna elements, as well as in resonators, microwave lenses, and other electromagnetic devices.

    摘要: An oscillator having the ability to oscillate at a plurality of discrete frequencies in response to an applied digital signal is disclosed. A crystal-controlled, resonant circuit utilizing passive components as frequency determining elements and a PIN diode switching scheme allows the oscillator to demonstrate a tendency for each of the plurality of discrete frequencies to drift equally in response to temperature changes. A two-transistor, emitter coupled amplifying section uses a current mirror for biasing and provides an impedance matching network.

    摘要: Electromagnetic slow wave structures (SWS) comprised of arrays of conductive obstacles are formed inside conductive parallel-plate waveguides These SWS may be formed using, for example, MEMS manufacturing processes at the wafer level on substrates including ceramic and silicon. An effective relative permittivity in the range of 15 to 40 may be obtained at millimeterwave frequencies. The SWS can be made absorptive by incorporating resistive losses in a plate of the PPW. Applications of these slow wave structures include delay lines and bootlace lens beamformers for microwave and millimeterwave antenna systems.
