Provided is a moving object mounted radar antenna (100) including: an antenna substrate (110) including a main flat surface facing an object; a first antenna element (120a) that is allowed to receive a polarization component in a first polarization direction parallel to the main flat surface; a second antenna element (120b) that is allowed to receive a polarization component in a second polarization direction perpendicular to the main flat surface; and a separation portion (112c) that electrically separates the first antenna element and the second antenna element, each of the first antenna element, the second antenna element, and the separation portion being provided on the antenna substrate.

A buoy antenna assembly with a hub having a first conical cavity in a top portion and a second conical cavity in a bottom portion is provided. The first conical cavity aligns with the second conical cavity with a space between an apex of the first conical cavity and an apex of the second conical cavity. Each of the first conical cavity and the second conical cavity is plated with a conducting material. A plurality of vanes attaches at an angle to the hub. A transmission line attaches to plated portions of the first conical cavity and the second conical cavity. The dimensions of buoy antenna assembly are determined by selecting a center design frequency followed by a calculation of the corresponding wavelength in the material of the hub and the vanes.

An electromagnetic coupling device and a wireless communication system comprising same are disclosed. One embodiment comprises: an antenna part having an impedance component; and an attachment part which attaches an electromagnetic coupling device to a conductor such that a certain interval is formed between the antenna part and the conductor, and which forms a capacitance between the antenna part and the conductor.

The invention relates to a sensor fastener arrangement (10a-f) for holding a sensor device (3). The sensor fastener arrangement (10a-f) comprises a plurality of fastener elements (20a, 20b). The fastener elements (20a, 20b) are configured to arrange the sensor device (3) to a platform (1). Respective fastener element (20a, 20b) is rigid in a first state and reversibly deformable in a second state. When the platform (1) of the sensor device (10a-f), and/or the sensor device (3), is exposed to an impact force, in turn exposing a fastener element (20a, 20b) to a compressive force exceeding a critical load of that fastener element (20a, 20b), the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from being in the first state to temporarily being in the second state. Thereby the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from having a first rigid shape to temporarily being reversibly deformed, after which, when the impact force is terminated, the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from temporarily being in the second state back to being in the first state. Thereby the fastener element (20a, 20b) goes from temporarily being reversibly deformed to having the first rigid shape.

An antenna device includes a conductive patch antenna element and a conductive feed line. The conductive feed line and the conductive patch antenna element are separated by one or more first dielectric layers. The antenna device also includes a ground plane. The ground plane is separated from the conductive feed line by a spacer structure that defines one or more walls of a cavity between the conductive feed line and the ground plane. The spacer structure includes one or more second dielectric layers.
