Jay Patel - Columbia MD, US
Om Gupta - Dayton MD, US
Shuguan Chen - Ellicott City MD, US
James S. Finn - Washington DC, US

Assignee:

Paratek Microwave, Inc. - Columbia MD

International Classification:

H04B 5/00
H04Q 5/22

US Classification:

455 412, 340 1052

Abstract:

An RF ID tag system and method that utilizes an RF ID tag and an RF ID tag reader which incorporates a dynamically reconfigurable wireless antenna and/or an array antenna and/or a switched polarization antenna. The dynamically reconfigurable wireless antenna embodiment comprises at least one multi-layered RF module, said at least one RF module further comprising at least one RF connector for receipt of at least one RF signal and at least one layer of tunable dielectric material and one layer of metal fabricated into said RF module; an RF motherboard for acceptance of RF signals and distribution of the transmit energy to said RF module at the appropriate phases to generate a beam in the commanded direction and width; and a controller for determining the correct voltage signal to send to said at least one multi-layered RF module.

Abstract:

An electronically tunable RF Front End Module, comprising a first tunable bandpass filter, said first tunable bandpass filter capable of being tuned to receive a plurality of distinct frequency bands, a first lowpass filter capable of transmitting predetermined frequency bands, a first switch in communication with said first lowpass filter and said first tunable bandpass filter for switching between said first tunable bandpass filter and said first low pass filter to enable switching between transmitting and reception of RF signals, a second tunable bandpass filter, said second tunable bandpass filter capable of being tuned to receive a plurality of distinct frequency bands, a second lowpass filter capable of transmitting predetermined frequency bands, a second switch in communication with said second lowpass filter and said second tunable bandpass filter for switching between said second tunable bandpass filter and said second low pass filter to enable switching between transmitting and reception of RF signals, and an antenna in communication with a third switch, said third switch enabling switching between said first and said second switch. More specifically, first tunable bandpass filter that is capable of being tuned to receive a plurality of distinct frequency bands can be tuned to receive frequencies in the DCS and PCS bands. Also, the first lowpass filter capable of transmitting predetermined frequency bands, can transmit signals in the DCS and PCS frequency bands; and the second tunable bandpass filter is capable of being tuned to receive frequencies in the GSM 800 and GSM 900 bands.
