Title: Broad band half Vivaldi antennas and feed methods

Abstract

A single Vivaldi antenna plate (half Vivaldi antenna) over a ground plane can be used to achieve a 50-ohm impedance, or two or more single plates over a ground plane to achieve other impedances. Unbalanced 50-ohm transmission lines, e.g., coaxial cables, can be used to directly feed the antenna.

Broad band antennas and feed methods

Patent Benzel, David M.; Twogood, Richard E.

Two or more Vivaldi antennas, consisting of two plates each, each with the antenna's natural impedance of approximately 100 ohms, are placed in parallel to achieve a 50 ohm impedance in the case of two antennas or other impedances (100/n ohms) for more than two antennas. A single Vivaldi antenna plate (half Vivaldi antenna) over a ground plane can also be used to achieve a 50 ohm impedance, or two or more single plates over a ground plane to achieve other impedances. Unbalanced 50 ohm transmission lines, e.g. coaxial cables, can be used to directly feed, the dual Vivaldi (fourmore » « less

Spiral antenna assembly with integrated feed network structure and method of manufacture

Patent Byers, Kyle J.

A spiral antenna assembly with an integrated feed network and method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The spiral antenna assembly may comprise a supporting structure integrally formed with a feed network structure, thereby presenting a monolithic structure. A spiral antenna element may be disposed on a bottom surface or a top surface of the supporting structure. The feed network structure may comprise the feed network and project from a center of the top surface of the supporting structure. The feed network may comprise a microstrip balun architecture. The spiral antenna assembly may be formed by additively manufacturing the supportingmore » « less

Method and means of transmitting and receiving broad-band unipolar, ultrasonic pulses for ultrasonic inspection

Patent Thompson, Donald O [Ames, IA]; Hsu, David K [Ames, IA]

The invention includes a means and method for transmitting and receiving broadband, unipolar, ultrasonic pulses for ultrasonic inspection. The method comprises generating a generally unipolar ultrasonic stress pulse from a low impedance voltage pulse transmitter along a low impedance electrical pathway to an ultrasonic transducer, and receiving the reflected echo of the pulse by the transducer, converting it to a voltage signal, and passing it through a high impedance electrical pathway to an output. The means utilizes electrical components according to the method. The means and method allow a single transducer to be used in a pulse/echo mode, and facilitatesmore » « less

Broad Band Intra-Cavity Total Reflection Chemical Sensor

Patent Pipino, Andrew C. R. [Gaithersburg, MD]

A broadband, ultrahigh-sensitivity chemical sensor is provided that allows etection through utilization of a small, extremely low-loss, monolithic optical cavity. The cavity is fabricated from highly transparent optical material in the shape of a regular polygon with one or more convex facets to form a stable resonator for ray trajectories sustained by total internal reflection. Optical radiation enters and exits the monolithic cavity by photon tunneling in which two totally reflecting surfaces are brought into close proximity. In the presence of absorbing material, the loss per pass is increased since the evanescent waves that exist exterior to the cavity atmore » « less

Ultra high vacuum broad band high power microwave window

Patent Nguyen-Tuong, Viet [Seaford, VA]; Dylla, III, Henry Frederick (Yorktown, VA)

An improved high vacuum microwave window has been developed that utilizes high density polyethylene coated on two sides with SiOx, SiNx, or a combination of the two. The resultant low dielectric and low loss tangent window creates a low outgassing, low permeation seal through which broad band, high power microwave energy may be passed. No matching device is necessary and the sealing technique is simple. The features of the window are broad band transmission, ultra-high vacuum compatibility with a simple sealing technique, low voltage standing wave ratio, high power transmission and low cost.
