50results about "Stripline fed arrays" patented technology

A radio frequency antenna arrangement comprising an array of radiating elements, such as radiating antenna patches, which are co-located in a circuit, such as a microstrip circuit, with feeder elements which couple electromagnetic radiation to the radiating elements. The antenna arrangement has an electrically conductive backplate located behind the circuit, which acts as a groundplane and which is separated from the circuit by a dielectric layer. To reduce electromagnetic interference from the feeder elements which could disrupt the antenna pattern an electrically conductive screen is located directly in front of the feeder elements of the circuit but selectively exposes the array of radiating elements. The screen is spaced from the feeder elements and is not electrically connected to the backplate so that the screen, feeder elements and backplate do not form a triplate structure.

Described herein are an apparatus, system, and method having a compact symmetrical transition structure for RF applications. The apparatus comprises: first and second ground planes each of which having respective truncated edges, the first and second ground planes being parallel to one another and separated by a multi-layer substrate; a strip line positioned between the first and second ground planes; and a symmetrical transition structure, coupled to the strip line and the first and second ground planes near their respective truncated edges, and further coupled to a broadside coupled line (BCL).

A near-field radio frequency identification (RFID) reader antenna includes: a plurality of pairs of slots being formed on a ground surface of a single dielectric layer to emit a field; and a micro-strip line being formed on another surface of the single dielectric layer and having an open end to feed the plurality of pairs of slots.

A slot-coupled microstrip antenna includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a support base. The first substrate having a first surface and a second surface, in which a ground surface that is formed on the first surface, and a plurality of slots are formed on the ground surface. A feeding network is formed on the second surface. A plurality of antenna corresponding to the slots are formed on the second substrate disposed above the first surface. The support base having two fillisters at two side of the support base. The design of slot structure often has adverse influence on cross polarization and a front-to-back ratio of antenna radiation. The support base having two fillisters of the slot-coupled microstrip antenna can effectively inhibit the influence on the cross polarization and raise the front-to-back ratio from the slots.
