US Patent:

6975281, Dec 13, 2005

Filed:

Apr 30, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/839447

Inventors:

Michael M. Neel - Ridgecrest CA, US

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01Q001/36
H01Q001/26

US Classification:

343895, 343700 MS

Abstract:

A spiral antenna having a pair of antenna arms mounted on a dielectric substrate. A balun is included to connect the antenna which has an impedance of 100 ohms to a 50 ohm cable. Unique features of the spiral antenna design provide for size reduction at a given lowest required frequency of operation. The spiral antenna has dielectric material layers positioned on both side of the antenna's metal arms. In addition, the antenna input impedance is reduced from the normal 100 ohm input impedance to approximately 50 ohms due the dielectric material.

International Classification:

H01Q 13/10

US Classification:

343767, 343770, 343872, 343700 MS

Abstract:

A dual polarized broadband, lightweight, low cost tapered slot antenna which has first and second radiating tapered slot antennas which are co-located and positioned perpendicular to one another. Each antenna includes a relatively thin dielectric substrate and a radiating metallic antenna element mounted on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate. A tapered notch area, which is centrally located, is etched away to expose the dielectric substrate. The tapered slot antennas allow for linear polarization, elliptical polarization and circular polarization.

International Classification:

G01R 2726

US Classification:

324632

Abstract:

A dielectric constant measurement probe assembly includes a coaxial cable ving a outer electrical conductor and a center electrical conductor extending within the outer conductor and terminating at an end portion which projects beyond an end portion of the outer conductor. An adapter member has a central passage receiving the coaxial cable with the outer conductor of the cable extending through the passage of the adapter member and projecting therefrom. An outer tube has a bore composed of first and second axial sections. The second bore section is smaller in diameter than the first bore section. The adapter member is inserted in the first bore section with the end portion of the coaxial cable outer conductor inserted into the second bore section and making electrical contact therewith such that the outer tube thus constitutes an extension of the outer conductor. A resonant rod is coupled with the end portion of the center conductor of the coaxial cable and an annular sleeve supports the resonant rod in the second bore section of the outer tube such that the rod constitutes an extension of the center conductor. The resonant rod and outer tube together define an open end of the coaxial cable such that the rod being capable of acting as a resonant structure upon energizing the coaxial cable produces fringing fields that protrude from the open end and penetrate a test sample disposed adjacent thereto.

Appl. No.:

9/433592

Inventors:

Michael M. Neel - Ridgecrest CA

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC

International Classification:

H01Q 136

US Classification:

343895

Abstract:

In a preferred embodiment, a spiral or helical antenna offering expanded operation at low frequencies while retaining a package size roughly equivalent to an unmodified antenna having a bandwidth not extended in low frequency. A preferred embodiment is a planar spiral antenna incorporating a pair of spiral arms, one arm of which has been modified to incorporate a capacitance at selected intervals along upper and lower surfaces of that arm so as to cause a phase shift in one of the input signals to the antenna. The input signal is provided by splitting at a balun a single signal into two equal amplitude signals 180. degree. out of phase with each other. The subsequent phase shift permits the two out of phase input signals to be brought back into phase at calculated intervals prior to termination of the signals at the arms' ends.
