Title: Gennaro Ledonne: Innovator in Antenna Technology
Introduction
Gennaro Ledonne is a notable inventor based in Quincy, MA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of antenna technology, particularly with his innovative designs that enhance radio frequency energy transmission.
Latest Patents
Gennaro Ledonne holds a patent for a microstrip patch antenna. This integrated directional patch antenna utilizes multiple patch radiating elements to control the direction of a beam of radio frequency energy (RF) over a large scan volume. The design includes a ground plane element and a first dielectric planar member placed on a major surface of the ground plane element. A plurality of first patch radiator elements is arranged on a surface of the first dielectric member, which is remote from the ground plane element. Additionally, a second dielectric planar member is placed on the first patch radiator elements, with a plurality of second patch radiator elements arranged on a surface of the second dielectric member that is remote from the first patch radiator elements. The invention features first regions formed in the dielectric planar member that have a first dielectric constant, separated by second regions with a different dielectric constant. This design effectively prevents surface wave energy from propagating in the first dielectric planar member, thereby increasing the scan volume of the antenna.
