An electrically short, omnidirectional antenna formed with a strip conduc helically wound about the outside of a cylindrical ground plane. A layer (ideally, a very thick layer) of a nonconducting material preferably with a low dielectrical constant (i.e., .epsilon..sub.r .perspectiveto.1.0) separates the microstrip from the ground plane.

Omnidirectional microstrip antenna

An improved self-powered vehicle detector (SPVD) uses a two-axis magnetomr to sense a vehicle's magnetic signature and then telemeter vehicle presence information to a roadside receiver. The SPVD system includes digital nulling loops to cancel D.C. offset changes in the magnetometic output, a multi-tone code transmitter to transmit vehicle presence and SPVD condition signal, and an omnidirectional microstrip antenna to simplify installation and maintenance of the SPVD.

Self-powered vehicle detection system

A compact, directional antenna element for achieving narrow beamwidths and ide bandwidths. The element is formed from a polyrod having a high dielectric constant embedded in a wave guide made of a second medium having a dielectric constant slightly lower than that of the rod.

Embedded dielectric rod antenna

A microstrip board comprising a gold film which contains about at least 1/2 weight per cent of aluminum bonded to a non-electrical conducting oxide is prepared by simultaneously evaporating the gold and aluminum onto the non-electrical conducting oxide and thereafter optionally heating the film thus formed.

Method of bonding gold films to non-electrically conducting oxides and

A conformal electronically scanned antenna array system utilizing an inve Butler matrix in combination with directive antenna elements. The system provides a simple and inexpensive device for scanning an elemental array without the problems of output frequency shift or mutual coupling between antenna elements.

Conformal radar antenna

A modified Huggin's Scanner whose tunable signal bandwidth can be broadened ithout affecting the beam position and whose output beam direction is dependent on the control of a resistor. Two separate voltage controlled oscillators are utilized in this system in addition to modifying the input frequency controls to the scanner.
