An antenna includes a substrate including a ground plane and a dielectric layer adjacent thereto and at least one antenna unit carried by the substrate. The at least one antenna unit may include a plurality of adjacent antenna elements arranged in spaced apart relation from one another about a central feed position on the dielectric layer opposite the ground plane. The at least one antenna unit may also include an antenna feed structure including a respective coaxial feed line for each antenna element and a feed line organizer body having passageways therein for receiving respective coaxial feed lines.

A spaceborne hybrid antenna reflector for dual frequency band illumination of common spot beam coverage regions contains an interior solid reflector region, that is adjacent at its perimeter to a ring-shaped exterior dichroic reflector region and adjoined by a common backing structure. The solid interior region is reflective to RF energy at each of first and second spaced apart frequency bands, while the exterior dichroic reflector region is reflective at the first frequency band, but non-reflective at the second frequency band. This allows the hybrid reflector to realize the same beamwidth coverage for a transmitter operating at one frequency band and a receiver operating at the other frequency band. The backing support frame at the rear side of the reflector is electrically decoupled from the exterior dichroic ring.

A phased array antenna element includes an antenna support and two longitudinally extending radiating leg elements supported by the antenna support and flared outward in a v-configuration from a vertex to antenna element tips. A resistive element is positioned on each radiating leg element and has a resistive value along the radiating leg elements from a low loss at the vertex to a high loss at the antenna element tips. The radiating leg elements are curved outward along their length and form a triangular configuration having a height that is about three times greater than the base.

An antenna includes antenna elements, an antenna feed assembly and at least one integrated circuit adjacent the antenna feed assembly on a side thereof opposite the antenna elements. The at least one integrated circuit is connected to the antenna elements via the antenna feed assembly. The antenna feed assembly includes a conductive base plate spaced from the antenna elements, and has feed openings therein. Spaced apart conductive posts are integrally formed with the conductive base plate as a monolithic unit, and extend outwardly therefrom toward the antenna elements. Each conductive post has at least one passageway therethrough aligned with at least one respective feed opening to define at least one antenna feed passageway. A respective elongated feed conductor extends through each antenna feed passageway.

The dual polarization antenna includes a substrate having a ground plane and a dielectric layer adjacent thereto, and at least one antenna unit carried by the substrate. The antenna unit includes four adjacent antenna elements arranged in spaced apart relation from one another about a central feed position on the dielectric layer opposite the ground plane. Preferably, diagonal pairs of antenna elements define respective antenna dipoles thereby providing dual polarization. The antenna unit also includes an antenna feed structure having four coaxial feed lines, each coaxial feed line including an inner conductor and a tubular outer conductor in surrounding relation thereto. The outer conductors have parallel adjacent ends joined together about an axis and are connected to the ground plane. The ends of the outer conductors are tapered and arranged so that portions thereof adjacent the axis extend further beyond the ground plane in the dielectric layer and toward the antenna elements. The inner conductors preferably extend outwardly from ends of respective outer conductors, through the dielectric layer and are connected to respective antenna elements adjacent the central feed position.

A radome uses traditional continuous heating wires mixed with detuned dipoles between heating wires and can be placed at any chosen distance from an array antenna or FSS. The continuous heating wires add a reactive component to the incident field phase, which is effectively cancelled out by the detuned dipoles which provide a capacitive component. The orthogonal components of the incident field are transmitted with very small losses over a wide number of scan angles. These heating and detuned dipoles can be printed on low loss dielectric materials. In addition, the printed elements of this radome can be scaled to operate over a chosen frequency band.

A radio frequency (RF) receiver system includes an antenna element, a receiver circuit, and an RF signal path connecting the antenna element to the receiver circuit. A limiter may be connected to the RF signal path and include a positive voltage clamp for clamping the RF signal path to a positive threshold voltage relative to a voltage reference, and a negative voltage clamp for clamping the RF signal path to a negative threshold voltage relative to the voltage reference. The limiter may further include a controllable resistance connected in series with the RF signal path. A control circuit controls the controllable resistance based upon at least one of the positive voltage clamp and the negative voltage clamp.
