A microwave radar reflector includes three, substantially planar networks whose reflectivity or transmissivity may be controlled. The three networks are arranged as a trihedron with an open angle. An additional network, whose reflectivity or transmissivity may be separately controlled, is located at said open angle of the trihedron. With the additional network controlled to be transmissive and the other networks having their characteristic modulated between reflective and transmissive, the reflector will return a modulated message when the reflector is illuminated.

Electrically adjustable microwave reflector and application as an

In a radar, a protective radome is placed in front of a to-be-protected antenna. The antenna is made of several networks that are superimposed. At least one of the active networks can be controlled electrically in two distinct states A or B. In state A, the radome, which is placed in front of the antenna, is transparent for the radar operation frequency band and reflective outside that band. For state B, the radome is reflective for all radar frequencies. The invention especially protects the radar against jammers that transmit outside the radar operation frequency band, while providing for the total camouflaging of the radar when it is not being used.

Anti-sensing method and device for radar

Lens for electronic scanning in the polarization plane

Process to attenuate or cancel certain side lobes of a microwave antenna pattern by using a network of parallel wires loaded with resistances that are adjustable at will, arranged as a filter in front of the antenna. Application of this process to the elimination of the effects of active or passive interferences, as well as to the localization of jammers. Adaptive filter for microwave antennas.

Adaptive spatial microwave filter

A plurality of metallic wire conductors are fitted in shunt along a shorted wave guide parallel to a dielectric field of electromagnetic wave incident to the wave guide. At least some of the wires have diodes mounted on them such that selective biasing of the diodes renders these wires discontinuous and causes a controlled phase shift of the incident wave.

Microwave phase shifter and its application to electronic scanning

Bipolar switches in first conductive leads mounted in a dielectric panel are divided into successive groups of alternating polarity and additional pairs of leads are positioned in the panel adjacent each first lead to couple the groups of switches in each first lead in parallel. A reduced reversed biasing of the additional leads results in the first leads being selectively rendered discontinuous by the switches, changing the electrical characteristics of the panel to shift or focus a microwave beam passing through the panel. The additional pairs of conductive leads also operate as microwave elements to increase the bandwidth of the panel.
