US Patent:

45557080, Nov 26, 1985

Filed:

Jan 10, 1984

Appl. No.:

6/569642

Inventors:

Douglas K. Waineo - Placentia CA
Sam S. Wong - Yorba Linda CA

Assignee:

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

International Classification:

H01Q 2120
H01Q 128

US Classification:

343799

Abstract:

A NAVSTAR satellite has a navigation antenna array beamed toward the earth. A communications antenna array for communicating with other satellites requires a pattern null near the axis and high gain to the sides with minimum losses. This is achieved with a dipole ring array comprising eight elements surrounding the navigation array. The ring has a diameter of 1. 1 wavelength, and is fed with equal amplitudes and a third mode phase progression, which produces good circular polarization in the far field. For a different sized dipole ring, there will still be an optimum phase distribution which will give good circularly polarized patterns.

International Classification:

H01Q 1502

US Classification:

343910

Abstract:

A radar lens 14 is made from a conventional Fresnel lens 10, but replaces the conventional curved surface 32 with a stepped approximation thereto 22, 24, 26, preferably of three steps. The thickness of the stepped lens 14, at each step, is a half-wavelength or a multiple half-wavelength of the radar operating frequency in the medium of the lens 14. The half-wavelength or multiple half-wavelength separation of the steps 22, 24, 26 causes reflections from the front 16 and rear 18 surfaces to cancel, thereby minimizing the (undesirable) standing wave between the lens 14 and the feed horn or feed horns 46, 48, 50. This avoids the necessity of reducing the standing wave by presenting the curved or stepped side 18 forward. The planar side 16 of the lens 14 (unlike the stepped side 18) doesn't need to be protected from road debris. The lens 14 can therefore be molded as an integral unit of a radome, desirable in the automotive setting.

International Classification:

G01S 1302

US Classification:

342 70

Abstract:

A modular radar system using both FM/CW and pulse waveforms for automotive collision avoidance applications. The radar system comprises a transmit and a receive antenna for transmitting and receiving, respectively, either one of FM/CW waveform and pulse waveform, a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating a pre-set waveform for the transmit antenna, a modulator for modulating the pre-set waveform of the VCO, a switch for allowing the pre-set waveform from the VCO to be transmitted for a predetermined interval so as to generate the pulse waveform, a timing generator for causing the modulator to execute through a pre-set sequence of frequencies for either one of the pulse and FM/CW modes of waveforms with the timing generator controlling the transmission of one of the FM/CW waveform and pulse waveform, a balanced mixer for signal conversion In both FM/CW and pulse modes, an IF/Baseband receiver for amplifying the received FM/CW waveform and for IF-amplifying the received pulse waveform to generate an in-phase and a quadrature baseband output, a coherent oscillator for generating a coherent oscillating signal of a predetermined frequency to the receiver for centering the IF-amplified received pulse waveform at the predetermined frequency during pulse mode, and a frequency control loop for causing the VCO to maintain an offset by a predetermined frequency in the pulse mode between receive and transmit.

Appl. No.:

8/305245

Inventors:

Sam H. Wong - Yorba Linda CA

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - Seal Beach CA

International Classification:

H03F 368

US Classification:

330124R

Abstract:

A bi-directional spatial power combiner grid amplifier has an array of parasitic elements between the lens and the amplifier. The elements have different impedances to radiation of a first polarization (incident radiation) and of a second polarization which is orthogonal to the first (amplified radiation), thereby providing impedance matching to both the input and the output of the grid amplifier. The elements preferably are separated slots or dipoles (some in each direction of polarization), crossed slots or dipoles, or micropatches.

International Classification:

G01S 1344

US Classification:

342 80

Abstract:

A radar system and method for obtaining low sum and difference side lobe patterns from a phased array antenna comprising radiators distributed amongst four quadrants A, B, C, and D. The quadrants are arranged in a clockwise order of A, B, D, and C. Each quadrant is further divided into an inner portion and an outer portion. The monopulse sum pattern is determined by adding signals received by radiators in the A quadrant, B quadrant, C quadrant, and D quadrant. The elevation difference pattern is determined by subtracting a CD sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the C outer portion and the D outer portion from an AB sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the A outer portion and the B outer portion. The azimuth difference pattern is determined by subtracting a BD sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the B outer portion and the D outer portion from an AC sum consisting of signals received by radiators in the A outer portion and the C outer portion.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Sam H. Wong - Yorba Linda CA

Assignee:

Rockwell International Corporation - Seal Beach CA

International Classification:

H03F 36
H01Q 2300

US Classification:

330286

Abstract:

The present invention is a high efficiency bi-directional spatial power combiner for extremely high frequency signals. In one embodiment, orthogonally polarized electro-magnetic waves are used to isolate signals going into and out of a planar array of amplifiers. A dual mode horn transmits vertically polarized fields to a MMIC planar array of amplifiers. Vertically polarized array elements receive the signals, amplify them, and retransmit back to the horn using horizontally polarized array elements. An ortho-mode transducer on the horn provides isolation for the two polarized signals. The backside of the array can be used for a heat sink, and to provide access for DC biasing of the array elements. In a second embodiment, monolithic grid oscillators are used in lieu of power amplifiers with orthogonal polarization array elements. The input signal and the output signal are of the same polarization.

International Classification:

US Classification:

330286

Abstract:

A spatial power combiner includes a circularly corrugated horn 26, a meniscus lens 28, an amplifier array 16, and a layer of microwave absorbing material 34 on a housing interior 32. The lens 28 receives polarized microwave radiation from the horn 26 and collimates it, renders it in phase and with nearly uniformly amplitude, and distributes it across the lens aperture. The amplifier array 16 amplifies the radiation and re-radiates it, orthogonally polarized, to the lens 28, which focuses it back down the horn 26. An array of parasitic micropatches 24 between the lens 28 and amplifier array 16 provides impedance matching. A quarter-wave anti-reflecting coating 30 covers both surfaces of the lens 28. The microwave absorbing material 34 reduces or prevents resonance of higher order modes.
