Latest Patents
James U Clark holds a patent for an "Interleaved waveguide and dipole dual band array antenna." This invention features interleaved waveguide and dipole arrays, each operating in different frequency bands. The design ensures that the polarization of the signals from the two frequency bands is perpendicular, which effectively reduces mutual coupling. The waveguides are utilized for the higher frequency band, with their cutoff frequency set above the lower frequency band of the dipoles to minimize interference. Additionally, the dipoles are printed on a substrate with a specific dielectric constant to maintain consistent spacing with the waveguides, preventing grating lobe formation in the radiation pattern. A low pass filter is integrated into the dipole feed circuit to reject frequencies associated with the waveguides. This invention allows for two beams of different frequency bands to be independently and simultaneously steerable within a single antenna aperture.
