Latest Patents
Ryan's latest patents include innovative systems and methods for phase-based aperture splitting and nulling of phased array antenna systems. This invention discloses methods for operating phased array antenna systems to efficiently generate multiple beams from a single phased array aperture. The elements included in the phased array antenna are randomly assigned to generate either the first or second beams. A phase index for the first set of elements is iterated multiple times, calculating the total difference in phase amounts for neighboring elements belonging to different sets. The phase index that results in the smallest calculated difference is applied to generate the first beam, allowing both beams to be generated simultaneously from the single phased array aperture.
Another notable patent is related to a packaging technique for antenna systems. This invention provides a modular electronic architecture, featuring one or more unit sub-arrays that include antenna radiator elements and supporting circuitry. Each unit sub-array consists of a rigid circuit board area for the antenna radiator elements and another area for supporting circuitry. These areas are interconnected by flexible circuit board material, allowing for efficient assembly and operation of phased array antennas.
