Systems according to the present disclosure provide one or more surfaces that function as power radiating surfaces for which at least a portion of the radiating surface includes or is composed of fractal cells placed sufficiently closed close together to one another so that a surface wave causes near replication of current present in one fractal cell in an adjacent fractal cell. The fractal cells may lie on a flat or curved sheet or layer and be composed in layers for wide bandwidth or multibandwidth transmission. The area of a surface and its number of fractals determines the gain relative to a single fractal cell. The boundary edges of the surface may be terminated resistively so as to not degrade the cell performance at the edges. Fractal plasmonic surface cards are described.

Included are: a radar main unit for emitting a radar wave and receiving a reflection wave of the radar wave reflected by an object; and a dielectric substrate in which multiple matching layers each having a protruded shape are regularly arranged on one surface of the dielectric substrate, and the radar wave emitted from the radar main unit enters the multiple matching layers in a state where the other-surface side of the dielectric substrate is attached to a windshield.

An apparatus includes a first layer having an RF lossy material, a second layer having the RF lossy material, and a plurality of conductive or resistive pads arranged in a planar array between the first layer and the second layer. The apparatus may also include a plurality of thermal vias, where each thermal via may correspond to one of the pads, may extend through at least the first layer, and may be formed of a thermally-conductive material. Dimensions of each pad may be selected based on a desired resonant frequency band, and the desired resonant frequency band may be associated with RF energy transmitted by at least one RF source in proximity to the apparatus.

An electromagnetic interference (EMI) sheet attenuator includes a planar conductive layer, a first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate. The first flexible substrate overlies the metal backing layer and including a conductive pattern on a surface of the first flexible substrate. The second flexible substrate overlies the first flexible substrate and also includes the conductive pattern. The conductive pattern on the second flexible substrate is aligned with the conductive pattern on the first flexible substrate.

Systems according to the present disclosure provide one or more surfaces that function as heat or power radiating surfaces for which at least a portion of the radiating surface includes or is composed of fractal cells placed sufficiently closed close together to one another so that a surface (plasmonic) wave causes near replication of current present in one fractal cell in an adjacent fractal cell. A fractal of such a fractal cell can be of any suitable fractal shape and may have two or more iterations. The fractal cells may lie on a flat or curved sheet or layer and be composed in layers for wide bandwidth or multibandwidth transmission. The area of a surface and its number of fractals determines the gain relative to a single fractal cell. The boundary edges of the surface may be terminated resistively so as to not degrade the cell performance at the edges.

The sensor suite is provided with a shield, an antenna array probe, and a surface sensor. The shield has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side is configured for positioning towards an active phased array antenna. The surface sensor is configured to determine X, Y, and Z positions of the active phased array antenna.

The fractal plasmonic surfaces can be utilized to facilitate electrical conduction with lower ohmic resistance than would otherwise be possible in the absence of the fractal plasmonic surface(s) at the same temperature.

A magnetic isolator includes a dielectric film having a layer of electrically-conductive soft magnetic material bonded thereto. The layer of electrically-conductive soft magnetic material comprises substantially coplanar electrically-conductive soft magnetic islands separated one from another by gaps. At least some of the electrically-conductive soft magnetic islands have an outer insulating oxidized layer that electrically insulates them from adjacent electrically-conductive soft magnetic islands. The gaps at least partially suppress electrical eddy current induced within the layer of soft magnetic material when in the presence of applied external magnetic field. An electronic device including the magnetic isolator and a method of making the magnetic isolator are also disclosed.

An electronic device disposed on a door frame includes a back plate attached to the door frame, a housing coupled to the back plate, a first antenna that transmits or receives a signal having a first wavelength with an external electronic device, a second antenna that is disposed closer to the back plate than the first antenna and that transmits or receives a signal having the first wavelength with the external electronic device, an electric-wave blocking member that is disposed between the back plate and the second antenna and that blocks a signal reflected by the door frame, and at least one processor operatively connected with the first antenna and the second antenna. The first antenna and the second antenna are disposed inside the housing, and an antenna pattern of the second antenna is different from an antenna pattern of the first antenna.
