Card Guide And Cap Antenna Retention System
US Patent:
2014001, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Apr 25, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/870233
Inventors:
BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. - , US

Assignee:
BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc. - Nashua NH
International Classification:
H01Q 1/12
US Classification:
343879, 29600
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a structure and method for providing better antenna element retention in the any environment. The structure may comprise at least two card guides attached to a base. Each card guide may have at least one antenna slot, and individual antenna elements may be guided into position by an antenna slot of two different card guides. The individual antenna elements may have their freedom of motion restricted in the direction of their insertion by caps attached to the card guides. The individual antenna elements may have their freedom of motion restricted in a direction transverse to their direction of insertion by retention members attached to the card guides. By allowing for the “top-down” assembly of individual antenna elements in a modular fashion, embodiments of the present invention may facilitate easier repair of antenna element arrays, than prior art array assemblies.
Low Radar Cross Section Array Panel
US Patent:
2014005, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 8, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/569754
Inventors:
Robert D. Smith - Chelmsford MA, US
Almer M. Garnett - Hudson NH, US
Almer M. Garnett - Hudson NH, US
International Classification:
H01Q 1/12
US Classification:
29600, 211 26
Abstract:
A low RCS array panel employs a number of linkable support segments. Each support segment has several junctions spaced along it, and the support segments are designed to connect with each other at the junctions to create a support grid. The segments can connect orthogonally, and the junctions can be spaced according to the frequency performance requirements for the antenna the array panel is designed to support.
