US Classification:

250288, 250281, 250282, 250286, 250287, 250283, 250290, 250292, 386 46, 386125, 345418, 345440, 435 34, 702 19

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry in an electronic chip assembly, including an input section, an ion filter and detection section and a control section, in which ion filtering proceeds in a planar chamber under influence of high field asymmetric periodic signals, with detection integrated into the flow path, for producing accurate, real-time, data for identification of a broad range of chemical compounds.

Robert G. Gels - Boston MA
William L. Robbins - Newton Center MA

Assignee:

The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

H01Q 138

US Classification:

343700MS

Abstract:

The present invention provides a miniaturized multilayer microstrip antenna that includes a stack of antenna sub-stacks, a ground element, and a plurality of electrically conductive segments. Each of the antenna sub-stacks includes a pair of substantially parallel outer principal faces. A sandwich of two relatively thin electrically non-conductive substrate elements, separated by a relatively thin electrically conductive layer, extends between each pair of parallel outer principal faces. The electrically conductive layer has at least one void region through which an electrically conductive feedthrough element extends. The feedthrough element also extends between the outer principal faces. The ground element electrically couples the conductive layers of each of the antenna sub-stacks. The electrically conductive segments are positioned between adjacent principal faces of two adjacent antenna sub-stacks in the stack, and electrically connect the feedthrough elements of the adjacent antenna sub-stacks, thereby establishing a first continuous elongated antenna element.
