An aerial device for a vehicle, particularly an aircraft, includes an aerial arrangement and a lens, which includes a first lens area, made of a first material with a first dielectric constant, overlapping the aerial arrangement and a second lens area, made of a second material with a second dielectric constant, overlapping the first lens area, with the second dielectric constant being smaller than the first dielectric constant, and wherein the second lens area extends in a longitudinal direction and in a curve in respect of a vertical direction oriented transverse to the longitudinal direction.

A circuit board includes a substantially planar component carrier and a microstrip which is applied to a surface of the component carrier. The microstrip extends towards a connection transition which is arranged on a lateral edge of the component carrier. A waveguide portion of an antenna element which is produced by a 3D printing process is coupled to this connection transition.

Circuit board for HF applications including an integrated broadband antenna

A flying machine or other vehicle includes at least two antenna units and a central control unit. In a first mode of operation, the two antenna units send and/or receive signals independent of each other in different, non-overlapping frequency bands. The central control unit is adapted to control the two antenna units in a second mode of operation such that the two antennas transmit and/or receive a common signal in a common frequency band using a Multiple Input Multiple Output transmission technique.

A coupling device for connection of one of two servers at a time to a data transmission network as well as to a data transmission network having a coupling device. The device has a first and second terminal for connecting a first and second server and a third terminal for connection to the data transmission network. A switch device is provided having a first switching state where the third terminal is connected to the first terminal and disconnected from the second terminal, and a second switching state, where the third terminal is connected to the second terminal and disconnected from the first terminal. The switch device is adapted to assume a switching state, when it is provided with the energy signal by the power supply, and to assume another switching state, when it is not provided with the energy signal by the power supply.

An antenna apparatus for a radar sensor having a plurality of individual antenna devices that interact through interference to generate and/or receive a radar beam at a predetermined angle of transmission and/or reception. The individual antenna devices are provided with a radar signal and are arranged such that a first angle of transmission and/or reception of the radar beam is determined via an analog beam formation and a second angle of transmission and/or reception of the radar beam is determined via a digital beam formation. The antenna apparatus further includes a feed device configured to generate the radar signal. In addition, the radar beam can be electronically pivoted. Also, an aircraft can include the antenna apparatus.

A high frequency-MEMS switch with a bendable switching element, whose one end is placed on a high resistivity substrate provided with an insulator, furthermore with a contact electrode to supply charge carriers to the substrate, wherein an electrical field can be produced to create an electrostatic bending force on the switching element between the switching element and the substrate, wherein at least one implantation zone is formed in the substrate, essentially directly beneath the insulator, the implantation zone is contacted with the contact electrode, which is located above the insulator, through an opening in the insulator, and also has ohmic contact with the substrate.

HF-MEMS switch

A high-frequency MEMS switch comprises a signal conductor which is arranged on a substrate and an oblong switching element which has a bent elastic bending area and is fastened on the substrate in a cantilevered manner. An electrode arrangement generates an electrostatic force which bends the switching element toward the signal conductor. The switching element is arranged longitudinally parallel to the signal conductor, and has a contact area which extends transversely to the switch element over the signal conductor. Under the effect of the electrostatic force, the elastic bending area of the switching element progressively approaches the electrode arrangement in a direction parallel to the signal line. The switching element has, for example, two mutually parallel extending switching arms, which are mutually connected by a bridge as the contact area and are arranged on both sides of the signal line and parallel thereto.
